Avient has developed a "Heat Stability Protocol" to screen new additive solutions for their impact on color and NIAS through two full recycle loops at 100% recycled content. This provides minimal effect on color shift and product safety.

Our patent-pending formulation solves a long-standing challenge,” said Felipe Reichert, Global Marketing Director for Color, Additives, and Inks at Avient. Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™.

Today’s lifestyles often involve outdoor activity, even in cold weather, and that leads to increasing demand for functional clothing that is warm while remaining lightweight,” said Say-Eng Lee, Vice President and General Manager of Color & Additives Asia at Avient.   They also can be combined with specific colorants into a single, customized masterbatch to simplify manufacturing. 

The new materials have a pleasing aesthetic compared to alternative natural fiber-filled polymer grades, are fully colorable, and can be formulated to meet various regulatory compliance standards, making them suitable for consumer applications such as household items and personal care products.  Looking to differentiate in the market and meet the desires of consumers, Difaş worked with Avient to develop a solution for toothbrush handles, combs, and hairbrush handles that utilizes natural filler while also offering high-end colorability and durability. 

The new color and additive concentrates and tailored ready-to-use formulations are made with bio-based polycarbonate, ABS, or styrenic polymers. Along with pre-colored formulations for users who prefer ready-to-use solutions, they are more sustainable drop-in replacements for fossil-based materials.

Avient’s Oxyloop-1 grade has earned the endorsement of the European Platform for Bottle Packaging (EPBP) for bottle-to-bottle recyclability for the colored recycled stream. Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™.
