With the addition of this Phoenix site, there are now five ColorWorks sites across the globe, including Merate (Italy), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Singapore, and West Chicago, Illinois (United States).   With the addition of ColorWorks Phoenix, we can more readily collaborate with our customers, especially those in the western part of the United States,” said Mayendran Pillay, Marketing Director, Color & Additives for the U.S. and Canada.  

There is significant momentum in the textile manufacturing industry toward developing sustainable solutions across the entire supply chain,” explains John Van Hulle, President, Global Color Additives and Inks, PolyOne. Further, several injection points can be added to run multiple colors or additives at the same time on a single extruder to enhance flexibility. In addition, these new solutions allow standard white polyester fiber producers with reactor spinning lines to produce colored products in-line, eliminating the need for a secondary aqueous dyeing process.        

  – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, announced the addition of new capabilities to itsOnColor™ HC Plus portfolio in advance of the Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) West show this week. James Petrie, marketing director for PolyOne Color and Additives, explained, “This expansion of the OnColor HC Plus portfolio reinforces our commitment to the healthcare industry and adds new alternatives for customers who seek to streamline their qualification, testing and supply chain management processes.” PolyOne is exhibiting a full range of polymer, colorant and additive healthcare solutions this week at MD&M West in booth 3213.

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.   In addition to the two sites in Latin America, the company has four additional locations worldwide, including Merate (Italy), Singapore, and United States sites in West Chicago, Illinois, and Phoenix, Arizona.  

In addition, the masterbatch can contain other performance and/or process-enhancing additives customized to specific needs. PolyOne Corporation, with 2017 addition revenues of $3.2 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

Our Cesa™ Laser Additives not only provide high contrast, permanent, and repeatable markings, but can also be customized with other additives for scratch and UV resistance. During processing, a laser beam activates laser sensitive additives within a masterbatch. The activation changes the molecular structure of these additives, causing a color change that provides the vivid contrast of laser marking.

The Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes light-stabilizing and UV-absorbing concentrates for the spin-dyeing process. Unlike topical finishing treatments, which involve the addition of chemicals in a post-treatment water bath, the additive concentrates are incorporated into the polymer during spinning. Additional solutions can be offered on request for other synthetic fibers such as PLA or TPU.

Cesa™ Fiber Additives for Heat Preservation Today’s lifestyle tends to be more focused on outdoor sports and long-distance travel, developing more functional clothing is the key for brand owners and OEMs. Cesa™ Fiber Additives for heat preservation are the formulated additives to enhance the heat preservation performance of textiles with synthetic fibers according to the test standard GB/T 30127- 2013. Fabrics made with Cesa Fiber Additives can absorb more heat when exposed to simulated sunlight with the wavelength from 320 to 1100nm.

Additive functionalities include antioxidants, UV stabilizers and flame retardants. Additives can be combined with colors in a single product for convenience. Antioxidant additives can help off-set this oxidizing effect.
