The PolyOne exhibit will feature applications that rely on the following material and additive solutions: WithStand™ Antimicrobial Technology: •    Additive that helps hospitals in non-acute care settings where minor lapses in cleaning protocol can lead to medical device performance problems •    Proven performance in engineered medical grade polymers with efficacy against primary known antibiotic-resistant organisms   OnCap™ Lasermarking Additive: •    Enables permanent alphanumeric character, graphic or barcode information for identification that does not fade over time for Unique Device Identification (UDI) •    Provides consistent and efficient marking without altering, damaging or changing electrical or mechanical properties in sensitive medical devices   OnColor™ HC and HC Plus Colorants: •    Regulatory compliant and biocompatible solid colorants •    Enable confidence that brand color choice will perform as expected for regulatory requirements, performance, and conditions of use   Royalite™ Fire-Rated ABS Sheet: •    Helps meet stringent flame rating requirements while creating thermoformed housings and components  •    Aesthetically appealing and easily machined and finished

These solutions include bio-based polymer colorants and additives, and bio-derived thermoplastic elastomers with lower product carbon footprint (PCF) values substantiated by Avient’s PCF Calculator certified by TÜV Rheinland for ISO 14067 compliance.   Bio-based Polymer Colorants and Additives Launched in 2021, Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions are color and additive concentrates and ready-to-use formulations manufactured with bio-based polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or styrenic polymers.  

ANAHEIM, CA – September 23, 2019 – PolyOne (NYSE:POL) is highlighting hands-on, continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composite demonstrations, a new snowboard binding application, and the addition of a new thermoplastic composites innovation lab at the Composites and Advanced Materials Expo (CAMX) 2019 tradeshow this week.   In addition, PolyOne is announcing the addition of a new thermoplastic composite innovation lab within the Polystrand manufacturing facility in Englewood, Colo.

Avient is experiencing a significant surge in demand for sustainable materials solutions, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Derrick Chan, General Manager of Color & Additives Southeast Asia at Avient. The addition of the ISCC PLUS certification further strengthens its capability to provide sustainable solutions for highly regulated industries under the OnColor™ and Mevopur™ brand names. Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™.

The materials can also be customized with radiopacifiers, colors, and other additives to meet specific application requirements.  In addition, the material can be overmolded on various substrates such as TPU and Nylon to allow for the creation of complex medical devices. Meanwhile, its compatibility with high-speed processing methods such as extrusion and injection molding provides additional flexibility that enables manufacturers to develop multi-material medical devices more efficiently. 

Additional iterations are in development for other high-performance resins, including polyethersulfone (PES) and polysulfone (PSU).   They are tested to ISO 10993 standards and can be customized with the addition of functional additives to enhance product performance.
