Percept technologies can be tailored to a wide variety of processing conditions, end-use applications, and authentication techniques based on overt, covert, or forensic-based approaches. These solutions enable companies to readily identify counterfeit products with easy-to-use methods based on additives and unique identifiers called taggants.

Wilflex Armor – Newly formulated under base inks with the latest bleed blocking chemistry and low cure technology to fight the toughest dye migration Rutland SilExtreme – A silicone-based ink system of whites, bases, colors and special effects for delivering stretch and feel on performance fabrics

 – PolyOne today announced that Montana’s WO Design relies on high-performance GLS™ Dynaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) to manufacture WO|Bone, a unique dog toy that supports the Ethiopia- based charity, Bring Love In. We’ve been very happy with the PolyOne TPE material, and based on steadily increasing sales our customers agree,” said Josh Allen, founder of WO Design. Bring Love In, the charity supported by WO Design, is based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The Zodiac portfolio now includes non-PVC inks, silicone inks, and water-based inks. Comprised of a combination of bases, additives, pigments, ready-for-use (RFU) colors, and special-effect inks, the Zodiac Taurus family of non-PVC ink solutions also deliver the convenience and printability of traditional plastisol ink systems. Highlights: •    Bases and bleed barriers •    Improved durability and elongation •    Modifiers and additives include thickener, reducer, and matte additives to increase the productivity and improve the finish, and effect additives to achieve textured suede or high density (3D) effect •    RFU colors a palette of 14 RFU mixing color inks, including fluorescents and silver and gold metallic •    Special-effect inks add dimension and dazzling impact to any flat print

The new reSound™ NF bio-filled grades are based on polymers such as polypropylene (PP) with 15 to 20 percent bio-based filler. The new bio-filled polymer from Avient has enabled us to reduce the carbon footprint of a range of our products by reducing the consumption of petroleum-based polymers.

They selected a TPE-based impact modifier that could be used at a loading level five percentage points below the current material while still meeting all of the performance requirements, including higher stiffness. In addition, reducing the tote wall thickness resulted in a savings of about $470,000 a year, based on reduction in material usage and lower unit costs for fuel to transport products to retailers.
