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.

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. 

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.

Avient is fully committed to increasing opportunities to expand the use of recycled polymers, helping customers to incorporate or increase PCR content into new and existing applications,” said Mayendran Pillay, Director of Marketing for Color & Additives, U.S. and Canada, at Avient. The PCR Color Prediction Service is the latest addition to our growing portfolio of services and solutions specifically created to support a circular economy by improving the customer experience of working with PCR content, designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems across the value chain.   

Cesa™ Unify™ A4R Polyolefin Compatibilizer: submitted in collaboration with Avient’s customer PreZero, a recycler, and its converter, Jelenia Plast, this innovative compatibilizer additive was developed jointly to boost the use of recycled polyolefins, showcasing how a value chain collaboration can lead to success. In 2023, Avient’s Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service and Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling were both featured in the Product Technology Innovation of the Year category, with the Color Prediction Service winning the overall award.
