Lids and protective films produced with this food contact-safe additive also remain clear, so that consumers can observe the food quality.  This additive can be used in both rigid and flexible food packaging, including mono- and multilayer structures. Available as a solid masterbatch, the additive can be extruded with packaging resins without the need for extra equipment.

In some cases, using OnCap Light Shield additives can also eliminate the need to have an extra coating or layer, reducing material usage for increased sustainability. Available as a granular masterbatch for injection molding, thermoforming or extrusion, these new additives offer superior performance for most clear polymers, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS). PolyOne will feature OnCap Light Shield additives at booth N1.E41 this week at Chinaplas 2014.

Avient’s robust portfolio of products and services from its legacy businesses – PolyOne and Clariant Masterbatch – is complemented by its global healthcare industry expertise as well as application development, regulatory, and quality services to provide an unparalleled offering.   •    Functional additive concentrates and formulations with the same regulatory features as the colorant range to enhance polymer properties or help protect pharmaceutical products NOTE: On July 1, 2020, PolyOne and Clariant Masterbatch joined together as Avient, a new kind of materials company focused on conquering customer challenges and unlocking the potential for innovation and sustainability around the globe.

Compared to traditional dyes, the new super black masterbatch colorants for PA and PET fibers are a more sustainable solution. New super black colors also feature a 30 to 60 percent lower addition rate compared with conventional black masterbatch.

Adding to their versatility, formulations can be designed using colors and specialty additives to meet specific needs.   Understanding the part size and wall thickness allows a masterbatch to be designed with the appropriate pigment strength, particle size, and dispersibility. Color masterbatch formulations can produce opaque colors or can be developed with the appropriate pigment particle size and loading to enable translucent colors.

In addition, we are seeing very good early integration success with Clariant Masterbatch." Color, Additives and Inks Color, Additives and Inks
