OnColor™ HC Colorants and OnCap™ HC Additives: Launching additional pre-certified OnCap Plus additives that complement OnColor colorant formulations, giving customers a wider range of resin choices Expanded resin families are able to incorporate biocompatible colorants and additives including nylon, polypropylene, and polystyrene.

Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service - a digital service using sophisticated technology to help illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR for customers, including polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins. By incorporating such additives early in the recycling process or blending them with virgin resin, the degradation of material can be significantly reduced, ensuring the quality and performance of recycled plastics.

– February 27, 2023 – Avient Corporation will exhibit and participate at the Plastics Recycling Conference next week, highlighting its polymer solutions that help make plastics more recyclable and improve recycled resin.   Avient will also be showcasing its newly launched PCR Color Prediction Service – a digital tool that supports post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin coloration.  

These 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.
