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.

– 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.  

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.

An enforced gap analysis of technical documentation may show that current plastic resin grades or masterbatches do not have adequate change control, and there are insufficient change agreements with suppliers For higher risk IVD, the gap analysis may also reveal that current resin grades or masterbatches don’t have sufficient regulatory assumptions, e.g., they are not verified for elemental impurities (ICH Q3D) 

Chemical Recycling: Sometimes referred to as advanced or molecular recycling in the plastics world, chemical recycling of composites involves breaking down the composite’s matrix resin into molecular components by pyrolysis or solvolysis, allowing for the recovery of its fiber reinforcement. To make composites more circular, explore a variety of fibers and a range of resins.

In contrast, short fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials contain reinforcing fibers of various short lengths (approximately 1mm in length on average) that are randomly orientated in the resin/pellet.   Fibers encapsulated with resin
