No matter the application, we have the experience and the appropriate solutions to help customers overcome their challenges,” commented Christoph Palm, general manager, Color & Additives EMEA & India, at PolyOne. Its additive solutions help manufacturers speed their production lines, limit shrinkage, protect cable from weathering and flames, and maintain physical properties over the life of an application.

in 2011 as assistant controller, a position he held until being named director of finance for the company's Color, Additives and Inks business segment.  He joined the company in 2010 and has since advanced through progressively increasing roles of global responsibility, including external reporting manager; assistant corporate controller; finance director for Color, Additives and Inks; and finance director for

president, Color, Additives and Inks at plans to present additional details about fiber colorant innovation as one of several high-growth technology platforms that underpin the company's expectation of delivering double digit EPS growth in 2018 and beyond. 

This can occur due to improper injection molding conditions or the incompatibility of a TPE or vulcanized silicone material with certain additives. In addition, the materials’ outstanding mold release improves cycle times, reducing overall energy use to support manufacturers in reaching their sustainability goals.

In addition, processing efficiencies are reduced as the material is recycled. Formulated for addition to virgin PET and recycled PET (rPET), heat-stable ColorMatrix Optica blue toners work to correct and reduce the yellowing or color variation that typically occurs during the recycling process.

ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ UV390R is a new ultraviolet (UV) absorbing additive technology suitable for both virgin and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) that allows less than 10% UV light transmission up to 395 nm and helps achieve improved bottle blowing with enhanced recyclability features, including less rPET yellowing.   Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling can protect post-consumer polyolefins against oxidation, typically resulting in defects like black spots, gels, and discoloration.

In addition to a high level of jetness, deep black colorants require very high light fastness (resistance to fading and discoloration when exposed to light) for automotive applications, robust wash fastness (resistance to frequent washing) for sportswear, and resistance to fading from frequent use for fashion and home textiles.   Satisfying all of these needs for deep black colorants in the textile industry has proven to be challenging over the past few years as certain color technologies could meet only one or two but not all requirements,” said Mauro Dallavalle, senior marketing manager, Color & Additives Fibers at Avient.

In addition to avoiding possible fines, investing in these solutions can also enhance a company’s reputation, attracting investors and stakeholders who prioritize sustainability. Avient offers a number of bio-based colorants, additives, polymers, and inks to address this growing need.
