Paint adds a great surface finish to automobile parts, but painting always adds cost, time, and additional logistics requirements. Many car parts are painted, not just metal and thermoplastic exterior parts, but also thermoplastic parts in a vehicle’s interior,” notes Gary Fielding, vice president and general manager, Color and Additives EMEA at PolyOne. To provide customers with additional information on making the switch from paint to molded-in-color parts, PolyOne has created an eBook titled, “Trend Report: Efficient Manufacturing And Molded-In Color.”

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.        

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.

In addition, these concentrates are easy to process in the polymers most commonly selected for packaging,” said Christoph Palm, vice president, general manager, Color and Additives EMEA & India for PolyOne. These high gloss metallic effect colorants offer our customers an easy-to-implement solution that creates out-of-this-world effects,” added Gary Fielding, global marketing director, Color & Additives at PolyOne.

In addition, the design included more traditional features, such as four small support feet on the underside of the mouse for low-friction, easy-glide operation. Together, the manufacturer and Avient settled on a final formulation that could utilize existing tooling, thereby avoiding additional costs. In addition, the profit margin on this product was about 30% higher than that of other models.

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.  

The new color and additive concentrates and tailored ready-to-use formulations are made with bio-based polycarbonate, ABS, or styrenic polymers. These are in addition to bio-based polyolefin materials that Avient introduced in 2021. These more sustainable additions to the Mevopur portfolio are being featured at Pharmapack Europe 2022, being held 18 and 19 May in the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
