In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure. Impactful Color: TPEs can be customized with bright colors and special effects such as glimmers, sparkles and pearlescents, as well as shine levels such as eye-catching high gloss, which conveys a high-tech, high-fashion aesthetic.

As a result, stakeholders across the plastics value chain in Germany expect PET juice bottles that were previously not entering the bottle-to-bottle recycling stream, to now do so, significantly increasing the amount of rPET in bottle applications than are already present in the market.  This high-tech facility is helping us to understand the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process to see how and where problems occur.

Percept technologies include formulation and consultative services to assist manufacturers and brand owners in confidently detecting whether their goods are authentic or are being counterfeited. The Percept spectrum of technologies can be tailored to a wide variety of polymers, processing conditions, end-use applications, and range of authentication techniques based on overt, covert, or forensic-based identification solutions.

The site, located at www.mesaconstructioncolors.com, features cementitious colors and finishes for building and construction applications, such as in-ground pools or concrete flooring.  The company adds value to global customers and improves sustainability through formulating materials, such as:

Because low durometer (softer) material is a requirement for this application, the manufacturer considered a switch to a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The manufacturer worked with Avient to formulate a custom Versaflex™ TPE that featured a low durometer with excellent resistance to adhesion (sticking).

When it comes to the creative application of color and special effects in product design and branding, ColorWorks™ centers are an invaluable source of ideas, inspiration and technical guidance. Avient’s New Aesthetix initiative combines polymer science and unconventional ways to look at processing and formulation to deliver innovative aesthetic solutions to plastic materials.
