The Good Duck is marketed as PVC free, phthalate free and BHA free, and also features two PolyOne technologies: customized GLS™ TPE materials and OnColor™ colorants.  To address consumer concerns about safety, PolyOne recommended that CelebriDucks consider both polymer and colorant. The Good Duck™ is blow-molded from an ultra-soft TPE and uses non-toxic molded-in colorants from PolyOne.

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. 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.

Produced under rigorous cGMP and medical manufacturing protocols, the new amber color concentrates are made in three dedicated EN ISO 13485-2016 registered facilities using only medical-grade ingredients. To support customers’ Device Master File submission for healthcare materials, Avient has developed and submitted a type III Drug Master File (FDA) for these colorants. Avient constantly monitors the evolution of regulations in the healthcare industry and develops products to help customers comply with them well before they come into effect,” said Beate Treffler, market development manager EMEA, Color and Additives, at Avient.

Additionally, color can be integrated into the additive in a Smartbatch™ combination concentrate for seamless incorporation of both color and stain-resistance efficacy in the fiber with the spin-dyeing (dope-dyeing) process, a one-in-one fiber manufacturing and dyeing method using no water.  Marketing Manager Fiber Global, Color & Additives in Avient. Our expanding portfolio of offerings includes colorants, advanced composites, functional additives, engineered materials, and Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™.

In addition to its comprehensive portfolio of polymers, functional additives, and colorants for healthcare, PolyOne’s exhibit will include a sampling of healthcare application successes achieved through material science, industry expertise and comprehensive product development support. OnColor™ HC Colorants for Healthcare: color concentrates developed to meet or exceed USP Class VI and ISO 10993 and formulated without heavy metals, phthalates and BPA or other requirements as specified Pre-certified OnCap™ HC Plus: Functional additives that complement OnColor™ HC Plus colorant formulations, giving customers a wider range of resin choices and supporting applications that require bio-compatible solutions

In addition, the new grades feature easy colorability, a major requirement for applications such as cosmetics packaging, personal care products, and consumer electronics. With an opaque natural color, all reSound OM materials can either use traditional TPE colorants or be paired with sustainable colorants from PolyOne.
