SHANGHAI, China – May 15, 2020 – PolyOne today launched a new functional additive for protective face masks as part of its Fiber Solutions portfolio. To add better particle blocking capabilities to this layer, fibers can be modified with an additive during extrusion before undergoing an electret charging process.

Our sustainability efforts are focused on the four cornerstones of People, Product, Planet and Performance, and signing the UK Plastic Pact is one additional way for us to advance the Planet component,” said Walter Ripple, vice president, Sustainability at PolyOne.

The Additives for Recycling (A4R) portfolio, including Cesa™ Unify™ A4R and Cesa™ Nox A4R – with formulations that play a crucial role in aiding compatibilization and protecting post-consumer polyolefins against oxidation, which can lead to defects like black spots, gels, and discoloration. By incorporating such additives early in the recycling process or blending them with virgin resin, the degradation of material can be significantly reduced, ensuring the quality and performance of recycled plastics.

CLEVELAND – June 23, 2020 – PolyOne today launched ColorMatrix™ AAzure™ Acetaldehyde Control Additive, a process aid for PET and recycled PET (rPET) preforms with added acetaldehyde (AA) control capabilities.

Stop thinking one-for-one: Rather than looking for materials that can replace a metal part using the identical geometry, designers are now capitalizing on the additional freedom to form plastics into net shapes. Knowledgeable suppliers can also open your eyes to material possibilities you may not have considered, either with new formulations or additives and fillers.
