Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Increasingly stringent FR test methods are creating a need for breakthrough formulations that optimize let-down ratios and can pass more rigorous testing. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. CESA FLAME RETARDANT ADDITIVES – STANDARD OFFERINGS Cesa Flame Retardant Additives can be used in combination with other colorants or additives, and formulations can be customized for most applications.

ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020G Non-nylon based PET oxygen scavenger with lower haze and less impact on recycle stream ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020G is a non-nylon based next generation oxygen scavenger for PET rigid packaging with a reduction in haze and lower impact on the recycle stream. However, when active oxygen scavengers and other additives are used in PET bottle production clarity can decrease, which negatively impacts product appearance, customer appeal and brand value. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Whether they are developing a new color range or adapting existing colors to accommodate a new phase in their product’s lifecycle, these innovators can work with InVisiO services throughout the design development process to bring their vision to life.” Electric blue channels the energy of synaptic exchange, while vibrant orange generates feelings of optimism and encourages positive consumer behavior.

By selecting these advanced masterbatch colorants, manufacturers who produce bio-degradable polymer packaging can avoid the significant costs and time required to test their products for at-home compostability. Our OnColor BIO concentrates have been specifically designed to help our customers comply with new, increasingly rigorous home composting legislation,’’ said Christoph Palm, vice president, general manager, Color and Additives EMEA & India for PolyOne.

Suitable for numerous components, including HVAC seals, buttons, controls, coin trays and drink holder mats, OnFlex LO can be overmolded onto polyolefin substrates using a two-shot injection molding process.  Consumer concerns and industry regulations have made vehicle interior air quality a major focus for automotive manufacturers,” said Woonkeat Moh, general manager, GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers Asia and Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for PolyOne.

We are thrilled at the opportunity to be part of this effort by bringing enabling technologies to the Citroën team as they pioneer new directions in automotive design,” said Christoph Palm, general manager, Color & Additives EMEA & India for PolyOne. The air-filled Airbump panels, manufactured from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), can compress up to 20 mm, and bounce back to shape in an instant.
