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.

Avient’s EVSE platform of colorant, additive, and specialty engineered materials solutions can help enhance both the performance and appearance of new model charging stations.   This portfolio of EVSE polymer solutions includes colorants, additives, and specialty engineered materials that can improve the performance and aesthetics of Level 1, 2, and direct current (DC) electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.   With the expected growth in electric vehicles, there will logically be a much greater need for EV charging stations,” said Mayendran Pillay, marketing director, Color & Additives North America.
