They can be used to accelerate the development of healthcare products and help reduce the risk of non-compliance. Our latest developments include pre-colored polymer solutions for well plates used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, a growing field leveraging molecular biology to provide a swift diagnosis of various infectious diseases. Specially developed for polystyrene and polypropylene PCR plates, these white and black formulations help maintain optimized signal transmission and minimize crosstalk that could lead to faulty results in quantitative fluorescence testing.

Specially developed for biopharmaceutical tubing, it contains nearly 40% first-generation biomass content and shows a PCF reduction of nearly 25% compared to standard Versaflex HC BT218 grades – calculated with Avient’s third-party certified PCF calculator. Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations: color concentrates and ready-to-use formulations to add color and enhance the performance of medical plastics, developed with raw materials pre-tested to ISO, USP, EP, and ICH Q3D protocols Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers series HC3810: translucent TPE formulations offering excellent colorability for injection molded parts and over-molding, developed to comply with ISO 10993-4 and -5, REACH SVHC, and RoHS

CLEVELAND– December 7, 2023 – Today, Avient Corporation is proud to introduce its third-party-certified Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator, developed to evaluate the carbon footprint of Avient’s specialized and sustainable material solutions. Knowing the PCF for raw materials is instrumental in identifying opportunities to reduce emissions, enhance carbon removal, and improve overall product development and process efficiency.   Over the past three years, Avient has made significant strides in developing materials to enable sustainability, introducing over 40 new product lines to incorporate more recycled content, bio-derived materials, lightweighting solutions, and energy-saving technologies.

PolyOne has developed new Geon™ Bold vinyl materials with dark, rich colors that stand up to the elements, especially heat build up, without losing their intensity or performance. We’ve developed Geon Bold vinyl solutions to address a recognized industry issue and help these manufacturers grow their market share and enhance brand image by delivering preferred color choices and the enduring performance their consumers want.” Applications that are commercial or in development include capstock and cladding for window and door lineals, decking, railings, fencing, roofing and siding.

We can work with you to develop custom food packaging that provides a unique look for your brand while maximizing your ability to connect with consumers through your package’s billboard. We are leaders in developing solutions for Form Fill Seal (FFS) and pre-formed dairy containers. We are leaders in developing solutions for Form Fill Seal (FFS) and pre-formed dairy containers.

InVisiO designers investigate global megatrends and perform deep and broad color research to develop palettes that resonate with emerging and longer-term societal trends. Thanks to such developments as synthetic materials that mimic human skin, lifelike robots, and augmented reality, the line between human and artificial is becoming blurred, making us uncomfortable. For more information on Color Inspiration 2019+ and how it can help designers and brand owners develop color strategies based on consumer color preferences, please contact us here. 

Several months ago, application development engineers at Jäger needed a special material for the “Case Mat Q5,” an elastomeric insert for the map case pocket of each door on the Audi Q5, a compact SUV. While Jäger had developed interior TPE parts in the past, its development engineers and designers had since created a modified manufacturing technology that was more demanding on the elastomeric material.

This provides ample time for brand owners and designers to create, develop, and introduce their products when the trends and their influences are expected to be prominent. ColorForward™ 2025 was issued in December 2023, providing ample time for brand owners and designers to create, develop, and introduce their products.  The goal of a ColorForward presentation is to inspire creativity, while informing brand owners and designers of upcoming trends that can help develop impactful aesthetics for next-gen product launches.
