There is significant momentum in the textile manufacturing industry toward developing sustainable solutions across the entire supply chain,” explains John Van Hulle, President, Global Color Additives and Inks, PolyOne. Further, several injection points can be added to run multiple colors or additives at the same time on a single extruder to enhance flexibility. In addition, these new solutions allow standard white polyester fiber producers with reactor spinning lines to produce colored products in-line, eliminating the need for a secondary aqueous dyeing process.        

With the addition of our Mexico site, we will be more accessible to customers in the Mexico and Central America regions and as a result, offer more opportunities for onsite collaboration to help streamline product development,” said Allan Bojorge, General Manager, North LATAM at Avient.   In addition to the two sites in Latin America, the company has four additional locations worldwide, including Merate (Italy), Singapore, and United States sites in West Chicago, Illinois, and Phoenix, Arizona.  

Paint adds a great surface finish to automobile parts, but painting always adds cost, time, and additional logistics requirements. Many car parts are painted, not just metal and thermoplastic exterior parts, but also thermoplastic parts in a vehicle’s interior,” notes Gary Fielding, vice president and general manager, Color and Additives EMEA at PolyOne. To provide customers with additional information on making the switch from paint to molded-in-color parts, PolyOne has created an eBook titled, “Trend Report: Efficient Manufacturing And Molded-In Color.”

In addition, these concentrates are easy to process in the polymers most commonly selected for packaging,” said Christoph Palm, vice president, general manager, Color and Additives EMEA & India for PolyOne. These high gloss metallic effect colorants offer our customers an easy-to-implement solution that creates out-of-this-world effects,” added Gary Fielding, global marketing director, Color & Additives at PolyOne.

In addition, the masterbatch can contain other performance and/or process-enhancing additives customized to specific needs. PolyOne Corporation, with 2017 addition revenues of $3.2 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

  – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, announced the addition of new capabilities to itsOnColor™ HC Plus portfolio in advance of the Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) West show this week.

currently produces color and additive concentrates and engineered polymer solutions at the 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,

Our long fiber products are produced using a pultrusion process in which continuous tows of fiber are pulled through an impregnation die (to introduce polymer and additive solutions) and then chopped to length (typically 12mm) in a pelletizer.   In contrast, short fiber reinforced solutions are produced by introducing pre-chopped fibers (typically 1mm or less) into an extruder where the fibers are mixed with polymer and other additives.  In addition to a gain in toughness performance LFTs also boost stiffness and strength as well.
