Formulated with pre-tested raw materials, this range of additives helps enhance the performance and functionality of plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.

It will highlight the progression from basic inks to the most cutting-edge products available today, such as bio-derived inks with 40-59% bio-content, energy-efficient inks that cure at lower temperatures (as low as 250°F compared to the traditional 320°F), and non-PVC inks.

In addition to viewing live printing demonstrations throughout the show, attendees will also be able to explore PolyOne’s comprehensive portfolio of screen printing inks, from water-based and silicone to plastisol and non-PVC plastisol ink technologies from Wilflex™, Rutland™, Zodiac™, Union Ink™ and Printop™ brands, all in one space.

Avient supports the efforts of a number of regulatory agencies and organizations, many of which are non-governmental, that perform important functions including development of global standards, certification of products, risk-management support, or provide third-party conformity assessment services.

Fluoropolymers typically have non-stick properties that make it difficult for ink to adhere to the substrate.

The PCR grade is formulated with recycled ocean plastics from Oceanworks®, an accelerator program participant within the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, a non-profit group that includes Avient as a founding member.

The event, which began on September 19 and extends through October 3, mobilizes volunteers from the Alliance, employees of participating member and non-member companies, partners, and individuals to rid the world of litter – one piece at a time.
