Avient customers can work directly with ColorWorks teams in the early stages of product development to help shorten their time to market, control costs, and manage color consistently across the globe.   With the addition of our Mexico site, we will be more accessible to customers in the Mexico and Central America regions and as a result, offer more opportunities for onsite collaboration to help streamline product development,” said Allan Bojorge, General Manager, North LATAM at Avient.   As with all Avient ColorWorks facilities, the new location will offer Color, Material, and Finish (CMF) trend consultation, in-person or virtual color development, rapid prototyping, and more.

The new facility enables collaborative innovation, accelerates application development and increases speed-to-market for customers in the Asia Pacific region. The state-of-the-art facility is strategically located in a hi-tech industrial park in the JinQiao Development Zone in Shanghai. The new Innovation Center houses cutting-edge laboratory facilities, an interactive product display and a modern training facility, where customers can collaborate with PolyOne’s technical and marketing experts to accelerate development.

Government funding and support through various laws, tax credits, and development grants indicates that public EV charging equipment production will likely continue on a high growth trajectory. Automakers are also making significant investments, not only in the adoption of EVs but also in the development of a robust infrastructure that will support the millions of vehicles expected to be on the road within the next few years. As the demand for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) rises, new options and charging station models are constantly being developed.

The rapid growth of the electric vehicle (EV) industry is generating extensive research and development in battery technologies. Polymers can be molded into complex shapes, enabling the development of custom battery configurations that can fit into limited spaces. As research and development continues, we can expect further advancements in battery technologies, leading to even more efficient and sustainable electric vehicles.

Together they developed a specially formulated pre-colored talc-filled Maxxam™ PP material incorporating OnCap™ CTR Process Optimization Additive. To assure color consistency, the development process also included creation of color specifications – the first time the OEM had such standardization for underhood parts. New tooling was also being developed at the time, and the team was able to provide design input that minimized mold shrinkage during production.

These silicone paste colorants are single-pigment or custom-made dispersions using a silicone carrier developed for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molding applications. Formulations can be developed for indoor or outdoor light-fastness, chemical resistance, heat stability, ease of dispersion, and heavy-metal replacement. Select one of our standard colors, or speak to our team of formulation experts to develop a custom color for your product.
