Sustainable Rigid Packaging Materials

Rigid Packaging

Impact Modifiers
  • Improve impact strength of polyolefins and polyamides especially at low temperatures.
  • Resin modifiers for polyolefins can improve the toughness, impact and heat resistance of the polymer, and transparency of the final compound. With lower density, lower modulus and lower melting point vs. traditional polyolefins, these modifiers can be used to modify impact and softness in finished compounds.
  • Acid-modified elastomers, with grades based in POE or EPDM, are well dispersed throughout nylon resin to prevent cracking and improve the durability of the polymer. Suitable for both filled and neat polyamide resins.

Application Examples

O2 Scavenger & Melt Viscosity Improver for PET Applications

  • Looking to produce a food-safe thermoformable tray with recycled material? Using O2 Scavenger + Melt Viscosity Improver, one can eliminate hard-to-recycle traditional barrier solutions such as EVOH or Nylon with an effective Oxygen scavenger in a monolayer structure. The O2 Scavenger material package is effective with many rPET/PET systems. Where recycled content is a priority, using a Melt Viscosity Improver allows a higher rPET % while improving strength and processability.
  • After the lifecycle of a tray using O2 Scavenger + Melt Viscosity Improver is reached, the product can be recycled in the PET stream with minimal yellowing effect.

Bio-Based Lubricant – Everglide® 

  • Looking for a processing aid with roots in renewable resources? Everglide® Performance Series is a collection of formulated lubricant masterbatches based on green/renewable resource additive technology. Designed with performance in mind, Everglide® PS gives users a chance to match performance of a standard Everglide® material at an additional cost savings. For those looking to make an injection molded product, just 2% dosage of Everglide® PS can improve COF in processing and abrasion resistance of final product.
