Developing an informed color strategy is absolutely essential to achieving the desired emotional impact that influences and connects with consumer decision making,” said Gary Fielding, director, global marketing, Color, Additives and Inks at PolyOne. In addition, InVisiO can help customers to streamline color portfolios, achieve global consistency and make informed material selection decisions.

In addition to viewing live printing demonstrations throughout the show, attendees will also be able to explore PolyOne’s comprehensive portfolio of screen printing inks, from water-based and silicone to plastisol and non-PVC plastisol ink technologies from Wilflex™, Rutland™, Zodiac™, Union Ink™ and Printop™ brands, all in one space. In addition, our new high solids water-based system has excellent opacity to allow printers to reduce the number of screens, ink deposit, and flash units required.”

These solutions include chemically-resistant polymer formulations and pre-tested polymer colorants and functional additives.   Introduced in 2021, the Mevopur portfolio also includes custom color and additive concentrates and ready-to-use formulations made with bio-based polyolefins, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or styrenic polymers.

Providing safe and sustainable products that downstream customers want is crucial,” said Say-Eng Lee, vice president and general manager, Color & Additives Asia. Avient’s Taoyuan site supports customers in Greater China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia with fiber colorant and additive solutions for apparel, home, and industrial textiles.

Mevopur Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions offer a range of colorants and additives specifically developed for healthcare applications. Our contribution is working with resin producers and our in-house material experts to provide more sustainable and bio-compatible color and additive polymer solutions.”

The adhesive properties of thermoplastics enable the construction of sandwich panels and reinforcement of materials such as wood and metal through thermal lamination without requiring additional adhesives. The existing solution — reinforcing the latch area with a steel plate — added vehicle weight and involved additional manufacturing processes, increasing time and cost.
