They offer additional characteristics such as high temperature sealing performance, matte surface finish, and low density. COMPTEK™ High Temperature Formulations: Eighteen months ago, PolyOne acquired COMPTEK (Diez, Germany), a specialist in formulations based on extreme-heat polymeric materials such as PEEK, PES, PEI, PPS, PSU and PPSU. It can replace paperboard packaging for ultra-high temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products for greater design freedom.

Today’s demanding applications require the high-performance properties found in modern engineering polymers. Stand up to high-temperature processing High-Temperature Color Concentrates

Recently Launched Colorant Chromatics™ Evoluscend™ Non-PFAS High-Temperature Mold Release Additive: a high-temperature polymer mold release additive made without intentionally added PFAS and developed to boost production efficiency and product quality for manufacturers. It meets FDA and ISO 109931 standards for sulfone products and can be effective across a range of high-temperature polymers, including PEEK, PPSU, PES, PSU, PEI, LCP, and PPS, with a maximum service temperature exceeding 150°C. Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants: bright, high-temperature solutions used in medical applications, offered in pre-colored formulations or color concentrates in vivid, opaque, and transparent colors that are fully bio-compatible per ISO 10993 standards.

In late 2016, PolyOne acquired Germany’s COMPTEK, an innovator in formulating high-temperature polymers. PEEK-based blends developed by COMPTEK have a glass transition temperature (Tg) up to 40°C higher than standard PEEK formulations. This higher Tg frees manufacturers to design parts that can withstand greater operating temperatures and high-temperature sterilization without warping.
