CAPTION: PolyOne has developed five new medical-grade polymer carriers within itsOnColor™ HC Plus portfolio.

Developed as a more sustainable alternative for biopharmaceutical tubing, the initial Versaflex HC BIO BT218 grade is formulated with nearly 40% first-generation biomass content, resulting in a lower carbon footprint than traditional alternatives.  

In addition to these sustainable colorants and additives, attendees can also explore Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Tool, a service that digitally illustrates the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR before sample development.

Resilience™ LS Vinyl Polymers, introduced in April 2017 and developed specifically for LED lighting applications, are the newest additions to PolyOne’s flame retardant innovation platform.

These vibrant inks are developed to be simple to use, easy to print, and can be a sustainable solution for your colorful screen-printing needs.

We look forward to leveraging this development to further enhance our offerings and deliver exceptional protective solutions to our customers.”
