By considering color, effects and material ideas early on, designers can push past boundaries toward a more novel use of color. This series of creative resources and technical support services helps designers and brand owners to drive innovation in plastic product development by leveraging extensive polymer materials and color expertise from PolyOne. PolyOne Corporation, with 2013 revenues of $3.8 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

Although these process aids do not directly benefit preform manufacturers, who produce the initial plastic preforms, the advantages are realized at the bottle blower stage, where the preforms are heated and blown into their final bottle shapes. Bottle Quality: Bottle-blowing process aids can improve material distribution within the bottle. While these machines clearly measure energy savings (15–30%), they do not provide material distribution values.
