These can be mixed into thousands of Pantone® shades using IMS 3.0, Avient Specialty Inks’ proprietary color formulation software. Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports

These formulations offer our customers an easy-to-implement solution that creates out-of-this-world effects,” added Gary Fielding, global marketing director, Color and Additives at PolyOne. Customers have the flexibility to choose a solid masterbatch or liquid concentrate version to meet their process and application requirements.”

Formulated using a proprietary process, colors in the Shades of Nature Collection will give brand owners a wide range of possibilities in creating individual, artisanal looks in plastic. Colors can be processed using standard equipment, are available in standard finishes, and can also be customized in various polymers or recycled resins for multiple applications.

For applications requiring color or toning, SmartHeat RHC is also available as SmartHeat Tint, a range of recycle-friendly colors for preforms and bottles or SmartHeat Tone, toners suitable for use in rPET. The company adds value to global customers and improves sustainability through formulating materials, such as:

– June 24, 2014 – PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers, a global leader in high-performance, custom-formulated thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solutions, today announced that its Versaflex™ CE 3620 material meets all ISO 10993-10:2010 testing requirements with no signs of irritation. Several Versaflex CE materials have been used in wearable electronics applications without irritation for a number of years, and the recent ISO testing results underscore this track record.

Avient’s Color and Additives team will exhibit solutions such as ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat™ dispersion process aids for improving polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling, Rejoin™ colorants formulated to enable 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging, and Hydrocerol™ chemical foaming agents for reducing part weights.   Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure and outdoor sports  

CLEVELAND – May 27, 2025 – Avient Corporation, an innovator of materials solutions, today announced the availability of Colorant Chromatics™ PVDF Processing Aids, specially formulated to improve the melt processing of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) resins. Colorant Chromatics PVDF Processing Aids can be used for wire and cable, tube, pipe, and filament extrusion applications, among others.

The new materials have a pleasing aesthetic compared to alternative natural fiber-filled polymer grades, are fully colorable, and can be formulated to meet various regulatory compliance standards, making them suitable for consumer applications such as household items and personal care products.
