Our polymer solutions and engineering materials include colorants for identification and differentiation, additives for added properties and functionalities, and thermoplastics that can withstand harsh chemicals and reagents. Color Cosmetics Make your lab and POCT in vitro diagnostic devices safe, accurate and easy to use with healthcare dedicated color and additive polymer solutions and thermoplastics.

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants Color and Additives Solutions Overview Colorant and additives overview and capabilities

This additive technology can increase shelf life of a product in a container by decreasing the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) light on the taste, odor, and color of food and beverages without compromising container clarity. It can be combined with liquid colorant to offer an all-in-one color and barrier formulation with visible light protection up to 595nm.

The material’s soft feel, resilience, durability and striking colors, combine help to differentiate the distinctively designed WO|Bone from other dog toys. Low specific gravity allows the WO|Bone to float for water retrieval and play, and the material’s excellent colorability allowed the company to feature the four bright hues of the Ethiopian flag as a market differentiator. In addition to supplying different grades of Dynaflex TPE to WO Design for testing purposes, PolyOne provided color selection expertise.

This rigid vinyl formulation is designed to provide low maintenance performance and long-lasting color in outdoor settings. The recently launched Resilience™ LS material was chosen for its long-term color hold, UV stability and thin-wall 5VA flame retardance, more than meeting technical requirements for the Nuvi light. We’re able to push the service envelope with in-house capabilities supporting design and color selection to drive successful commercialization of their products.”

Comprised of a combination of bases, additives, pigments, ready-for-use (RFU) colors, and special-effect inks, the Zodiac Taurus family of non-PVC ink solutions also deliver the convenience and printability of traditional plastisol ink systems. Highlights: •    Bases and bleed barriers •    Improved durability and elongation •    Modifiers and additives include thickener, reducer, and matte additives to increase the productivity and improve the finish, and effect additives to achieve textured suede or high density (3D) effect •    RFU colors a palette of 14 RFU mixing color inks, including fluorescents and silver and gold metallic •    Special-effect inks add dimension and dazzling impact to any flat print

We’ve seen growth in demand for medical manikins and training models, putting, manufacturers under constant pressure to differentiate and find ways to quickly introduce innovative new products,” said James Petrie, marketing director, PolyOne Color and Additives. Collaborative Custom Color Expertise – Enables manufacturers to offer realistic training experiences by creating custom-tailored skin tones; thermochromatic technology enables model to change color in response to heat or cold, simulating hypothermia, fever or burns; can also be used to design distinguishable looks to drive brand equity

Wilflex Revive inks are currently offered in a base and white and are compatible with the Wilflex Epic PC Express Color Mixing System. These can be mixed into thousands of Pantone® shades using IMS 3.0, Avient Specialty Inks’ proprietary color formulation software. Formulas in IMS 3.0 will automatically calculate the bio-derived content associated with each Pantone color.

Coloring PCR brings further challenges. A challenge faced when coloring PCR resins include recyclate materials with an undertone or opacity that can restrict color options in PET, rPET and rPP. A NEW PCR COLORATION TOOL Avient has developed a digital tool to help assess the impact of colored, recycled resins (PCR) prior to laboratory trials.
