Impressions Packaging Offers Heavy-Wall PET Bottles with Molded-in Frost Look
Tarrytown, NY, July 10, 2007 - Given the demand for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles having a high-end, frosted-glass look, Impressions Packaging has added a frosted grade to its PET Glass(TM) line of thick-walled PET bottles. The frosted effect is molded in, which eliminates the high cost of spray painting bottles to create this effect. This antique look is offered in frost green, blue...

Light Diffuser Masterbatches are manufactured by using polymer-based diffusion compound formulated for polycarbonate, acrylic, and other clear plastics. Used to eliminate hot spots caused by LEDs in applications such as signage and illuminated knobs, products contain spherical polymer particles that scatter and spread light in plastic sheets and films to form even illumination, while allowing...

Color Masterbatches have non-drying formula.
Formula X(TM) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) masterbatches are designed for colors and additives that can be used in stretch blow molding, injection molding, and thermoforming without pre-drying. Able to eliminate process issues such as feed throat clogging and screw slippage, products can be fed at throat of machine and promote dispersion of colors, additives, and special effect pigments....

Meeting food contact regulations, HYDROCLEAR 2 controls formation of water droplets in packaging using films made of oriented polypropylene and cast polypropylene. Cold fog testing on 30 Ã-µm multilayer extruded film containing 5% HYDROCLEAR 2 found that anti-fog agent prevents droplet formation within 15 min after package is placed in refrigerator at 4Ã-

Ampurge(TM) 103400 removes color deposits from molding and extrusion equipment during color change-outs. Designed for purge situations involving olefins and engineering resins, product has reactive formulation with softer scouring material to minimize abrasion in elements susceptible to wear. Solution also combines flushing, scouring, and penetration mechanisms. Requiring as little as 15-20 min,...

Designed into components from beginning, Ampacet 103003 and 103004 provide uniform shrinkage and promote crystallization to minimize warpage when running part that calls for successive use of different colors. Nucleating agent offsets crystallization effects of certain pigments and helps reduce cycle time by as much as 10% by raising crystallization temperature. While Ampacet 103003 is for use...

Ampacet 102794 allows polyethylene-based packaging films to be adhesive laminated to those made of polyethylene terephthalate or other polymer with little or no change in coefficient of friction after lamination. Product helps keep film movement through form, fill, and seal machine predictable and problem-free. There is no need to overdose it to compensate for lubricant migration from sealant...

SmartColor(TM) Masterbatches limit color build-up in plastic extrusion and molding equipment. Unlike conventional purging agents, which remove color contamination after it occurs, SmartColor Masterbatches retard formation of such contamination. They are also less likely than traditional masterbatches to create residues that break off and contaminate parts after color change.

Intended for use with engineering thermoplastics, Performance Plus(TM) color and additive masterbatches are formulated to lower resin viscosity during processing and optimize pigment and additive distribution. Lower viscosity allows injection molders to shorten cycle times by processing at lower temperatures. Masterbatches are not reactive or toxic, do not migrate, and are safe in all forms of...
