Homepage // News Center // New Liquid Shimmer and Frost Colors from PolyOne Add Style to PET Containers CLEVELAND – PolyOne today unveiled a new collection of liquid color concentrates for designers and brand leaders that infuse PET containers with shimmer and frost effects.

General purpose TPV alloys offer exceptional flow, lower shrink rate, and aesthetics over typical TPVs.

The focus for this study was to develop thermoplastic elastomer compounds that would overmold onto substrates made from Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys

Container Design and Thickness Some PET container designs and shapes include varying thicknesses. Container Clarity

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Manufactured at four ISO 13485 certified sites, providing global consistency and increased security of supply • Documented change control beyond CAS number, reducing risk of change • Non-phthalate and formulated without animal- derived substances • Available for use in a wide range of polymers including polyolefins, styrenics, polycarbonate and alloys, polyester, POM • Functionality can be combined with colorants into convenient combination concentrates or formulations REGULATORY SUPPORT • Pre-tested raw materials: - ISO 10993-1 and USP biological evaluation - European Pharmacopeia 3.1.3/3.1.5 (polyolefin) - USP (polyethylene) - ICH Q3D elemental impurities • Registered Drug Master File (Type III) • Food contact established with FDA/EU* APPLICATION BULLETIN * FDA/EU compliance information available upon request FUNCTIONALITY TARGET APPLICATIONS EBM/IBM CONTAINERS CLOSURES FILM COMBINATION DEVICES Clarifying PP Sorbitol-free—possibilities in packaging ocular solutions    Slip/torque reduction Slip for PE, PP films, processing aid, torque reduction for closures   Protection from UV in transparent packaging for PP, PE, PETG, COP UV blocking in 290–450nm with no impact on clarity    Antistatic ready-to-use solution for PE films e.g. for API handling Permanent/non-migrating; fast decay time independent of % relative humidity  Antistatic masterbatch for PE films Cost effective, long-lasting, migrating type but with biological evaluation  Gamma/e-beam sterilization protection of the polymer Preserving the properties of PP and COC/COP.

The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended a GLS™ Versalloy™ alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP.

All are semi-crystalline materials that contain an abundance of carbon and oxygen. However, it surpasses ABS, COPET and PC alloys.
