PolyOne Launches New Black Masterbatch Colorants with Sustainable Carbon Black CLEVELAND – September 19, 2019 – PolyOne today announced the availability of OnColor™ RC Environmental Black. New Black Colorants from PolyOne Support Circular Economy, Turn Former Waste into Recyclable Packaging

The use of PCR material grades from the Borcycle™ M portfolio from Borealis in tandem with specifically developed formulations from the Avient OnColor™ portfolio can help achieve a desired color effect with low levels of colorant addition and good detectability in the sorting process  Moreover, coloring processes for dark recycled material can be challenging due to the need for high amounts of colorant to overcome the PCR base color.  The study also demonstrated that using Borcycle M grades along with Avient’s OnColor™ near-infrared (NIR) detectable colorants can produce a recyclable, neutral black which enables better automatic sorting for recycling.

One way to achieve this is to switch to bio-polymers where possible. Avient provides pre-tested color and additive concentrates based on bio-polymers to minimize the risk of non-compliance and support a more sustainable profile for plastic products used in the healthcare industry.
