Techflow Improves End-Product Aesthetics for Consumer Bottle Producers
CLINTON, Tenn., February 6, 2014 – Techmer PM, a major producer of value-added colors and additives for the plastics and fiber industries, announced that one of its leading blow molding products, Techflow, is gaining strong acceptance among consumer bottle producers seeking a solution for creating a differentiated and aesthetically pleasing end product.
Techflow made its international launch in April 2013 for use in both consumer and industrial blow molding applications. However, Techflow is experiencing stronger growth in the consumer market, driven by producers’ increased focus on design and aesthetics in bottle production.
Techflow provides value to customers in industries such as personal care, food and beverage, and health and wellness by reducing the impact of flow lines and surface imperfections on bottles, thereby improving the experience of the end consumer. In addition, Techflow enhances processing and decreases purge time at an addition rate of 1 to 2 percent.
“Techmer PM developed Techflow as part of its ongoing commitment to creating value-added products in the blow molding market,” said Steve Loney, Techmer PM’s blow molding market manager. “We are extremely pleased that Techflow has been so well received in its first year and expect strong continued growth going forward.”
The application was recently showcased at the K Fair in Düsseldorf, Germany, generating interest in the European market. Customers should consult Techmer PM’s technical service department to obtain specific limitations for each application.
