Developed in response to increasing demand from regional brands in China for greater product differentiation, this collection of color and additive formulations also offers to streamline production and reduce manufacturing cost. Brand owners in Asia continually seek to increase consumer engagement by visually differentiating their PET packaging,” said Say Eng Lee, general manager, Color & Additives Asia at PolyOne.

These solutions enable companies to readily identify counterfeit products with easy-to-use methods based on additives and unique identifiers called taggants. In addition, a private sector 2013 study (Canon Study) indicated that a significant percentage of U.S. consumers lack a full understanding of the possible safety risks and the true long-term costs of counterfeit electronics.

In addition, the high-flow TPE easily handles WO|Bone’s molded-in surface textures (divots and bumps) that promote dental health. In addition to supplying different grades of Dynaflex TPE to WO Design for testing purposes, PolyOne provided color selection expertise.

Additional PolyOne technologies being featured include: ColorMatrix™ light and gas barrier additives for food, beverage and personal care products

Stop thinking one-for-one: Rather than looking for materials that can replace a metal part using the identical geometry, designers are now capitalizing on the additional freedom to form plastics into net shapes. Knowledgeable suppliers can also open your eyes to material possibilities you may not have considered, either with new formulations or additives and fillers.

The Additives for Recycling (A4R) portfolio, including Cesa™ Unify™ A4R and Cesa™ Nox A4R – with formulations that play a crucial role in aiding compatibilization and protecting post-consumer polyolefins against oxidation, which can lead to defects like black spots, gels, and discoloration. By incorporating such additives early in the recycling process or blending them with virgin resin, the degradation of material can be significantly reduced, ensuring the quality and performance of recycled plastics.

With well-controlled laser transmission rates, multiple color choices and customized performance options, this new addition to the Bergamid portfolio allows manufacturers to produce high-performance parts with durable welds and smooth surfaces. In addition, laser absorption can be controlled by adjusting the type of pigments.
