CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio (October 3, 2018) – Americhem, a globally recognized designer and manufacturer of custom color masterbatch, functional additives, engineered compounds and performance technologies, teamed up with WeatherTech’s new business, PetComfort, to develop FDA and NSF certified TPE custom compounds, and color and additive masterbatch solutions to go in their pet feeding systems.
The additives developed were anti-microbial and anti-fungal for TPE and PP. WeatherTech used an FDA compliant polymer for human food contact enhanced with an Americhem additive that also passed FDA and NSF compliances. Americhem matched 11 colors that were to be used in 8 different sizes.
Americhem provided multiple products designed to perform in combination: custom color masterbatches, pre-colored custom formulated Sevrene TPE, and anti- microbial/anti-fungal functional masterbatches. Americhem was also able to critically color match these dissimilar materials and custom formulate the pre-colored TPE compound to the required hardness.
Americhem designed all components of their compounds and masterbatches to utilize FDA compliant raw materials and worked very closely with NSF associates who certified their materials. All products were also formulated, sourced and produced in the USA.
“PetComfort by WeatherTech had a successful national launch with many customers raving about their new pet feeding systems and writing great reviews,” states Matthew Hellstern, CEO of Americhem. “That’s why we do what we do here at Americhem. We help our customers grow their businesses and make their customers happy through Performance, Solutions, and Trust.”
