We provide customers with additives, scavengers, and toners that improve the quality of recycled PET. Avient’s additives can improve processability during the bottle blowing phase and improve the mechanical strength of bottles.

Dual Light Barrier for Packaging: OnCap™ Light Shield additive effectively absorbs both ultraviolet (UV) and visible light from clear packages to protect light-sensitive substances, such as food and pharmaceuticals, from degradation. In addition, this specialty solution improves color stability and maintains polymer clarity.

POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – February 28, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, is pleased to announce it is extending its Gravi-Tech™ REC Recycled Formulations portfolio with a grade containing up to 60% ocean-bound plastic waste in addition to recycled fillers, making the total recycled content as high as 98%. Additional food contact-compliant formulations are also available as part of the broader Gravi-Tech REC portfolio.    

This is the third site in addition to Avient’s list of GRS 4.0 sites, including in the Chinese cities of Suzhou and Shenzhen. The certification is further demonstration that Avient’s offerings meet sustainability requirements under this renowned standard and a compelling recognition of Avient’s approach to corporate social responsibility,” said Say-Eng Lee, vice president and general manager, Color & Additives Asia.

In addition to production, color matching, and quality control capabilities for fiber applications, the site houses a showroom featuring an extensive assortment of sample mono-color polypropylene yarn pompoms. Avient will highlight its color and additive solutions for spin-dyeing, along with its portfolio of dyes, chemicals, and finishes, at ITMA 2023, the world’s largest international textile and garment technology exhibition, June 8-14, 2023, in Milan, Italy.

In addition, organizations such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) have emerged to foster meaningful sustainability improvements by mobilizing manufacturers and brands. The use of multiple materials, color, and certain additives can add to the recycling complexity or limit recyclability.

In addition to its electrical conductivity, Stat-Tech TPEs offer benefits compared to silicone and thermoset rubber, including simplified manufacturing due to single-step fabrication, more design freedom for complex geometries, and 2-component overmolding directly onto polymer substrates, reducing processing steps. Additional food contact compliance grades are also available.  

In addition to providing resources for associates to improve their skills and further their career with Avient, the learning opportunities enhance collaboration across the company as associates build their networks.
