Traditional painting processes for plastics are costly, and they require additional expense to eliminate resulting VOC emissions,” said Say Eng Lee, general manager of the Color Asia of PolyOne. With uniquely shaped and sized pigment particles, they create metallic shades that replicate the look of paint to help customers replace painted metal parts or even plating on plastic parts.

CLEVELAND – May 20, 2019 – PolyOne, a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, will co-organize the first-ever Healthcare Elastomers Conference, sponsored by Rubber & Plastics News, this week. Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic PolyOne employs approximately 6,900 associates, is certified ACC Responsible Care® and Great Place to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. 

Parts molded from Artisan pre-colored thermoplastics offer excellent scratch resistance compared to painted plastic, which minimizes the appearance of scratches. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses Avient employs approximately 9,100 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.  

PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL) has launched Geon™ BIO Flexible Solutions, formulated with a bio-derived plasticizer and in compliance with phthalate-restrictive regulations, such as California’s Prop 65 and the Consumer Product Safety Initiative Act of 2008 (CPSIA). Customers benefit as this plant-based, truly non-phthalate flexible vinyl performs at levels equal to or better than materials containing traditional petroleum-based plasticizers.” Geon BIO materials are formulated with PolyOne’s plant-based reFlex™ 300 plasticizer, which has been tested and certified by the United States Department of Agriculture’s BioPreferred® Program to be 99 percent bio-based.

Cesa Withstand additives include organic and inorganic ingredients to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi on the plastic surface, providing uncompromising antimicrobial performance. The effective reduction of bacterial activity that can be achieved on TPU film laminated plastic and/or textile surfaces has been confirmed in extensive testing to international standards, including JIS 2801. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

As legislation sets new targets for increasing the recycled content in plastic packaging, safeguarding the quality of rPET is critical, especially for food-contact applications. Designing additives and recycling processes with circularity in mind is essential for the future of sustainable plastic packaging. The journey is challenging, but with continuous innovation and a commitment to sustainability, a circular economy for plastics is achievable.
