Avient will use this data to develop new and unique masterbatch formulations with proven science behind how they perform during recycling processes, offering customers a portfolio that’s essentially field-tested for recycling. NOTE: On July 1, 2020, PolyOne and Clariant Masterbatches joint together as Avient, a new kind of materials company focused on conquering customer challenges and unlocking the potential for innovation and sustainability around the globe. 

This 16th edition of the annual color forecasting guide for the plastics industry marks its debut within Avient, which was formed this year from legacy businesses PolyOne and Clariant Masterbatch. NOTE: On July 1, 2020, PolyOne and Clariant Masterbatches joined together as Avient, a new kind of materials company focused on conquering customer challenges and unlocking the potential for innovation and sustainability around the globe.

For example, our recently opened CycleWorks facility in Italy is providing cutting-edge support for the development of new and sustainable masterbatch formulations, many of which we will display at Chinaplas.”     Rejoin™ PCR Masterbatch for polyolefin packaging applications is made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyolefin as a carrier resin, enabling a bottle or part to be manufactured from 100 percent PCR

Smartbatch™ formulations blend design and function in one masterbatch solution  Colorant Chromatics™ Precolor and Masterbatch Formulations that counteract yellow tones without sacrificing heat and steam resistance

Rejoin PCR Masterbatch for Polyolefins - Product Bulletin (Chinese) Functional masterbatch for high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters (Traditional Chinese language version)

It is highly recommended to check with suppliers before using any Omnicolor masterbatch for food contact applications.
