PolyOne Expands Specialty Color and Additives Expertise with Acquisition of IQAP Masterbatch...

Polymer Additives Cesa™ Laser Additives SmartBatch™ Color & Additive MasterBatch system of three colors that met requirements for critical safety components

Our Cesa™ Laser Additives not only provide high contrast, permanent, and repeatable markings, but can also be customized with other additives for scratch and UV resistance. During processing, a laser beam activates laser sensitive additives within a masterbatch. The activation changes the molecular structure of these additives, causing a color change that provides the vivid contrast of laser marking.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives for Pharmaceutical Packaging Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives help protect and enhance the performance of polymers used in pharmaceutical packaging products such as vials, bottles, closure systems, films and combination devices. These functional additives are available as concentrates to dilute into the polymer, or ready-to-use formulations that can be used as such without dilution. Reduction in yellowing using Color Compensation Technology (CCT)   Reduced material consumption/cycle time/improved properties—nucleation Fast acting new generation nucleant for PE and PP; improved dimensional stability, thermal and mechanical properties    Laser marking replacing ink printing/labels Solvent-free, high-speed identification for Nd/YAG laser    Antiblock for PE/PP film Non-migrating additive system maintaining high gloss and printability  Antioxidants for PE, PP, TPE Thermal protection during converting/ downstream sterilization     Brand protection/ anticounterfeit Range of covert and non-covert systems    Volatiles/odor absorber for PE/PP Physical absorption of a wide range of molecules responsible for odor, VOC and potential extractables/ leachables in plastics   Healthcare use limitations apply—see below.

The consumer market has never been more competitive, and packaging is often the winning factor,” said Say-Eng Lee, general manager, Color and Additives Asia for PolyOne. These formulations offer our customers an easy-to-implement solution that creates out-of-this-world effects,” added Gary Fielding, global marketing director, Color and Additives at PolyOne. Customers have the flexibility to choose a solid masterbatch or liquid concentrate version to meet their process and application requirements.”

Developed in response to increasing demand from regional brands in China for greater product differentiation, this collection of color and additive formulations also offers to streamline production and reduce manufacturing cost. Brand owners in Asia continually seek to increase consumer engagement by visually differentiating their PET packaging,” said Say Eng Lee, general manager, Color & Additives Asia at PolyOne. The new masterbatch can be used in all PET bottles, including those for water, beverage and personal care packaging.
