Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives for Bormed™ Resins Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives help medical device, diagnostics and pharmaceutical packaging sectors meet the growing challenges of product consistency, compliance and reliability. They are adapted to your manufacturing process and available as either a ‘ready-to-use’ formulation or a concentrate that is diluted in the Bormed™ resin of choice.

Performance is on par with standard PET formulations using virgin resin.  Levels of post-consumer resin content vary within the offerings, allowing end products to meet different performance and sustainability requirements. This is the first offering in a planned larger long-fiber composite portfolio based on recycled resin.  

Avient engineers work with customers to develop a specific resin matrix and fiber loading to meet the compressive, flexural, and tensile strengths required. Resin matrix and fiber loading formulated to meet your property requirements Resin Type

L’Oréal recently expressed the need for a tool to help simplify the process of developing color with recycled resin. The PCR Color Prediction Service is Avient’s breakthrough digital tool for polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, launched in June 2022. Having identified optimized colorants for the packaging of the Redken line worldwide, Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Service helped L’Oréal simplify overall color development with recycled resin.

Traditional GRP is composed of high strength E-glass fibers impregnated with a variety of specialized proprietary resins. Our resin chemistry is optimized for process conditions, fiber adhesion, and end-use application of the FRP. Common resins include MDPE, HDPE, PVDF, PVC and Nylon.

Omnicolor™ Multipurpose Colorants offered versatile solution across resins and low LDR List with examples of polymer additives and colorants that are suitable for PET resins High-temperature colorants for polyetherimide resin

Made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyolefin as a carrier resin, Rejoin PCR Masterbatch can enable a bottle or part to be manufactured from 100 percent PCR.  Until now, masterbatch has generally been made using virgin material as a carrier resin. We understand that many consider the use of colorants and additives that rely on virgin resin carriers to nullify the claim of 100 percent PCR, so we worked to develop a solution that could help our customers deliver fully on their sustainability commitments,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient.

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants have received APR Meets Preferred Guidance for packaging applications using HDPE resin. With the recognition, OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants are preferred for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin in black and dark colors, according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability. In addition, testing is underway to support an application for MPG recognition for the same colorants for polypropylene resin (PP).

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP), or carbon fiber composites, are made by combining carbon fiber with a resin, such as vinyl ester or epoxy, to create a composite material that has higher performance properties than the individual materials alone. Carbon fiber filaments can be woven to form a fabric or take permanent shape as a composite material when combined with a resin. Due to the inherent corrosion resistance of thermoset resins, CFRP products do not rust or corrode and in turn have a longer product lifetime than typical metal materials. 

Cesa™ Mix Additives can improve homogeneity when otherwise incompatible resin chemistries, fillers and reinforcing materials need to be blended. Helps to bridge the gap between different resin chemistries, enabling them to form a homogeneous structure
