In Georgia, Axiall Corporation announced the introduction of Aspire flexible vinyl compounds, the market’s first phthalate-free, bio-based compounds offering improved performance at a price that is equal to its traditional non-sustainable counterparts.
Axiall describes the Aspire line as being derived from renewable resources, free of heavy metals, and meets the USDA BioPreferred Program requirements with greater than 25 percent renewable content. Axiall reports that the physical property comparisons of Aspire bio-based compounds and phthalate-based compounds reveal improved performance in low temperature properties, dynamic thermal stability and color hold, as well as outdoor weatherability.
