NEW Colorant Chromatics™ Metallic Effect Pre-Colored Sulfone Formulations: new pre-colored sulfone solutions with metallic effects, including gold, bronze, and silver, developed to emulate finishes that use metal without the weight and secondary processing but have the benefits of sulfone polymers, including ultra-high temperature and chemical resistance. Especially useful for consumer goods, aerospace, and healthcare, they support extended shelf life, multiple sterilizations, lower energy requirements, and lower volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, aligning with Avient’s commitment to developing sustainable solutions that can appear luxurious. RECENTLY LAUNCHED reSound™ REC AF 7210 TPEs: specifically developed for automotive interior applications, these new TPE grades from Avient contain 51-59% recycled content, with a minimum of 37% of that content from PCR sources, including closed-loop feedstock.
