Achieve low temperature toughness while optimizing production rate
by DuPont Polymer Modifiers
The addition of a functionalized polyolefin, into your PET-based resin increases the resistance to breakage at freezing temperatures while reducing cycle time for both extruded sheets and thermoformed food trays. It also leads to cost savings thanks to the use of regrind while maintaining mechanical properties such as low temperature impact resistance.

Enhance HDPE Blow Molded Bottle Productivity and Quality
by Milliken chemical
Blow Molders are continually under pressure to increase their plant output and productivity. A key challenge in accomplishing this task is to maintain the overall dimensions of the bottle and ensure good quality parts are produced. Faster production typically leads to more defects such as panel warpage, shrinkage, neck ovality and poor post mold trimming.
