The collection of eleven earthy and elegant bio-derived colors can be used with recycled and bio-derived resins, and can also be formulated for use with fully biodegradable and compostable resins.
Biodegradable, recyclable and bio-compostable when used with appropriate resins
Add antistatic and UV protection to products built from biodegradable resins.

Our teams researched the best combination of additive and carrier resin for the application.
Because the toothbrushes were molded in both clear and opaque resins, the team had to explore two different avenues—one that preserved clarity and one that retained opacity.
As an added benefit, Avient designed a universal carrier that enabled the manufacturer to use the same additives across a variety of olefins, elastomers, and other resins.

Bottles and closures have traditionally been made using virgin resin.
Injection and fill pressures will be different with PCR versus virgin resin due to viscosity inconsistencies of the PCR
Incorporating PCR into closures is reported to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 71% over the use of virgin resin¹.

A Digital Service To Support PCR Resin Coloration
Discover our digital color prediction service for polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins that uses sophisticated technology to illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR.
Created a process with L’Oréal to overcome PCR coloring challenges and simplify recycled resin coloration for global consistency

Pultrusion is the process of impregnating and curing fibers in a resin system to form a rigid rod.
Resin impregnated fibers are chemically cured with thermal or ultraviolet energy to form a highly crosslinked thermoset matrix.
Common resins include MDPE, HDPE, PVDF, PVC and Nylon.

However, Avient has overcome this challenge and achieved vibrant colors like any other resin.
Scratch and mar performance is average but not as good as some engineered nylon 6 or 66 resins.
