With a palette of 20 colors and effects, the guide helps plastic product designers, brand managers, and marketing professionals make more informed color choices.  

Heightened disinfection requires materials that retain mechanical and physical performance in the face of these effective, but harsh, chemistries,” said Matthew Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

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.

These developments provide a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to PA66 and PA6 supply constraints hindering our customers,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

OnColor™ HC Colorants, OnCap™ HC Additives and Smartbatch™ HC Masterbatches: Delivering exceptional performance for polymers in healthcare applications, this portofolio delivers aesthetics and special effects, as well as processing and functional improvements

The Halal certification obtained by Avient includes its products that provide various visual enhancement effects and functional additives in solid and liquid form, which are used in a wide range of plastic for containers, caps, closures, film, and sheet applications by manufacturers throughout Indonesia and other predominantly Muslim countries.  

These advanced solutions empower customers to enhance mechanical properties, extend product life and improve cost effectiveness.

PolyOne testing shows that ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020G is one of the most robust oxygen scavengers for PET rigid containers, with negligible effects on efficacy for the rPET grades tested, while other competitive materials lost almost all oxygen scavenging ability with rPET content as low as 20 percent.

Additionally, the PolyOne GLS material is more cost-effective than self-adhesive vibration damping tapes and avoids secondary operations.  

With major consumer goods companies actively defining sustainability goals of 100 percent PCR polyolefin packaging, Avient has responded by developing Rejoin PCR Masterbatch in customizable colors and special effects.
