Needs of the Plastic Industry
Plastics market:
How to handle
these needs? Minimize cost of risk
“Fit for the purpose”
products
Low energy and low
waste solutions
required
Need for clear, factual
and evidence based
communication
Sustainability, e.g.
•Social responsibility
•Environment
•Commercial success ex: Weight reduction
• Recycling
Providing custom made
individualized solutions

Important to Understand Failure Criteria
Non
stabilized
Stabilized
Polymer degradation on
the surface: Cracks
Stabilized Non
stabilized
Color fading of the red
pigment: Bleaching
Diagnosis on origin of failure is a must to optimize formulation

Packaging - Market trends
Trend to transparent packaging
Increased products exposure to
UV and Visible light
– Little to no UV filtering
– Limited and random protection
from visible light
Need for protection against light
Food - Beer, Milk, Juices, Sliced meat, Detergents & Shampoos
Pharmaceutical
Cosmetics
MB Asia 2012
Light - the enemy
An issue for many products categories
Causes undesirable changes of the packaged products
in appearance, color
in flavor or odor
in nutritional value
Compromises the aspect and the quality of the
packaged products
Affects negatively the brand image
Limits ingredient/product/package development choices
Shortens the product shelf-life

Returnable Packaging:
Crates performance properties during use
e.g. Outdoor stacked bottle crates
Performance requirements:
Color light fastness
Colors capable of overcoloring regrind
Polymer UV stability & oxidation resistance
Wash-resistance
Dimension control (warping)
MB Asia 2012
Crates, HDPE: Reduce Warping with
Low Warping Pigment
Red-1: Warping Red-2: Improved warping behavior
with low warping pigment
PE-HD injection molded crates: red pigmented PR 254
Maintain dimensional stability and provide productivity improvement
High demand on stackability
