RENOLIT takes a sustainable lead by switching to a non-phthalate plasticizer
10/9/2019
Malmö October 07, 2019 - RENOLIT, a global leader in high-quality plastic films, has completed the switch of all its US production for signage and graphics market product range to the leading non-phthalate plasticizer Pevalen™, produced by Perstorp. It is the first company in this sector to make this significant move away from phthalates to a more sustainable additive.
Ralph Gut, Business Unit Manager RENOLIT commented: "We believe this switch is well-timed both from an environmental and safety aspect. It takes our compliance beyond the tough existing safety regulations and responds to the increasing consumer demand for greater sustainability. In making this switch, we have gained a clear competitive advantage in this market." He continued: "Our high quality signage and graphics products make a significant difference to many of our customers, which are developed with both their processing requirements and end use performance in mind."
American RENOLIT - a subsidiary of the RENOLIT Group, is based in La Porte, Indiana. The calendered films produced here are the ideal face stock for numerous pressure sensitive applications. Products customized with RENOLIT films are used for indoor and outdoor advertising and branding, vehicle graphics and architectural graphics, as well as product identification or for other technical applications. Renaat Demeulemeester, President of American RENOLIT said: "Given the diversity of the product portfolio, switching from a phthalate to non-phthalate plasticizer took first-class planning, development resources and sufficient time to ensure the smoothest possible transfer. This could not have been achieved without the support from both Perstorp and our valued customer base. American RENOLIT worked closely with its customers, evaluating multiple processing and performance criteria, supported by Perstorp which committed considerable resources to product testing, processing and logistics."
Pevalen proves to be the best non-phthalate plasticizer in test
RENOLIT tested several non-phthalate plasticizers before choosing Pevalen in 2017. Pevalen came out top offering excellent and customizable performance properties, including greater sustainability. RENOLIT's customer trials went exceptionally well, and several customers were impressed with four key areas of product improvement - UV stability, shrinkage, colors and printability. Pevalen also delivers excellent processing properties, which were important in RENOLIT's decision to choose Pevalen.
RENOLIT gains a sustainable advantage
Pevalen's superior properties are also giving RENOLIT a critical sustainability advantage as they consistently lower the environmental impact of signage and graphics products by:
- Pevalen's plasticizing efficiency
- Providing the lowest volatility and migration properties,
Pevalen already offers a significantly lower CO2 footprint than any other non-phthalate on the market, being produced using biogas energy, which combined with the sustainable properties makes it an excellent choice for the environment.
The RENOLIT Group is a globally-active specialist for high-quality plastic films, sheets and other plastic products. With more than thirty locations in over twenty countries, and with annual sales of EUR 1,031 billion in fiscal year 2018, the company with headquarters Worms - nearly fifty km northwest of Heidelberg - is one of the world's leading plastics product manufacturers. Over 4,700 employees continue to further develop the knowledge and expertise gained from over seventy years of Business.
Perstorp is a global leader in bio-based polyols and intends to produce Pevalen, in the future, from renewable raw materials which will be certified, allowing customers to pass on the CO2 savings to their customers. It already has the ambition to be the first chemical company to become Finite Material Neutral. This will provide an even stronger environmental competitive advantage for Perstorp and RENOLIT in the future. Ralph Gut summarized: "RENOLIT sees incrementally improving our sustainability profile as a clear win. We believe the continuing strategic partnership with Perstorp and their proactive development of renewable solutions gives us a clear commercial edge in the US."
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
