Additional weight, manufacturing challenges and ultimately, higher costs.
In addition, the size required for an efficient metal heat sink may create design challenges that adversely affect nearby electronic components.
And remember that polymers can offer a way to achieve lighter weight and improved design capabilities in addition to managing heat.

In addition, testing is underway to support an application for MPG recognition for the same colorants for polypropylene resin (PP).
As a leader in sustainable colorant and additive solutions for polymers, we are proud to have received this recognition from the Association of Plastics Recyclers and look forward to further supporting our customers to reach their recycling goals,” said Mayendran Pillay, director of marketing for Color & Additives, U.S. and Canada, at Avient.

MANNHEIM, Germany – At the VDI Plastics in Automotive Engineering congress this week, PolyOne is introducing Smartbatch™ Fabric FX color and additive concentrate.
In addition, fabric graining and color can be tailored to meet designers’ recommendations.
Smartbatch Fabric FX offers greater design flexibility, and creates attractive, ready-to-use parts that are easier to clean than textile-covered applications,” said Christoph Palm, vice president, general manager, Color and Additives EMEA & India for PolyOne.

In addition, this unique technology increases production efficiency by eliminating the coextrusion process used to manufacture striped catheters, as well as reducing material usage and scrap rates.
NEU View formulations for cardiovascular and intravascular catheters are application-specific, incorporating medical-grade polymers, additives, color, and healthcare-centric manufacturing practices.
PolyOne is exhibiting NEU View and additional advanced healthcare solutions this week at MD&M West in booth #3213.

SUZHOU, China – ColorMatrix, a subsidiary of PolyOne Corporation and a global leader in liquid color and additives for plastics, today announced that its patented Joule™ RHB liquid infra-red absorption technology is now approved for use in PET beverage packaging in China.
Its inorganic, titanium nitride (TiN) base means the additive can naturally withstand higher temperatures.
Inherent blue toning properties help reduce the appearance of yellowing to maintain clarity, while the additive also retains its reheat capability even after long-term recycling.

We understand that many consider the use of colorants and additives that rely on virgin resin carriers to nullify the claim of 100 percent PCR, so we worked to develop a solution that could help our customers deliver fully on their sustainability commitments,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient.
Rejoin PCR Masterbatch combines pigments and functional additives into a single solution without negatively affecting color or mechanical properties.

PolyOne currently produces color and additive concentrates and engineered polymer solutions at the Pune facility.
PolyOne opened a new facility in Pune in 2014, initially focused on the production of colorant and additive concentrates to serve end markets such as transportation, electronics & electrical, healthcare, wire & cable, and packaging.
With the most recent addition of TPE production, PolyOne enables manufacturers to source all of their specialty polymer requirements from a single domestic source.
