Additionally, plastic prefilled syringes can be color-coded for easy identification and customized to meet specific opacities in polypropylene (PP) resin, while laser marking additives can help create precise, solvent-free markings.  Formulated with pre-tested raw materials, this range of additives helps enhance the performance and functionality of plastics used in medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.

Other, please specify Plastics Europe and American Chemistry Council commitments to enable plastics packaging to be 100% re-used, recycled or recovered by 2040. The Alliance aims to end plastic waste in the environment. Alliance- related projects in flight in 2021 are estimated to achieve 21 KTA of plastic waste diverted from the environment and 27 KTA of plastic waste recycled.

Smartbatch™ FX for Paint Replacement The replacement of paint on plastic parts with molded-in color (MIC) has several benefits. With MIC the incorporation of color with a color concentrate during the manufacturing of plastic components reduces the number of processing steps and complexity. Since the color is incorporated into the plastic matrix, it also prevents color peel-off and flaking.

OnColor™ Color Concentrates for Non-Phtalate PVC Formulations Plasticizers are a major component in PVC formulations. There are different chemistries, including formulations that contain phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers. Due to the rise in non-phthalate plasticizer demand, Avient offers a range of color concentrates suitable for these formulations.
