In addition, resources like our Cycleworks™ Innovation Center for Plastic Recycling and Color Prediction Service are integral to strengthening our expertise and enabling our customers to meet their sustainability commitments. Avient has developed technologies to address these needs, including composites that are lightweight to decrease carbon emissions, functional additives that lightweight or improve the recycle content of plastic packaging, and biobased solutions that lower product carbon footprint.

CLEVELAND – October 28, 2019 – PolyOne today announced the launch of reSound™ OM (overmolding) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), the latest addition to its sustainable solutions portfolio. In addition, the new grades feature easy colorability, a major requirement for applications such as cosmetics packaging, personal care products, and consumer electronics.

This Zodiac Libra silicone ink portfolio includes bases, additives, ready-for-use (RFU) colors, toner colors, pigment concentrates, and special effect inks. Bases and additives are used to produce soft hand, high stretch or other performance characteristics

MANNHEIM, Germany – April 3, 2019 – This week at the Plastics in Automotive Engineering (PIAE) congress, PolyOne is presenting its deep portfolio of advanced polymers, colorants, and additives that help automotive manufacturers keep pace with changes in technology and consumer demand.

In addition, the tests showed that a case made with Versaflex XP TPE dropped from 14 feet performs nearly the same as a TPU case dropped from 10 feet. Click here for a technical bulletin with additional details about the testing.

Additional information about this collection can be found here. These colorants are the latest addition to PolyOne’s robust sustainability portfolio that supports improved recyclability and the goal of a Circular Economy.

This can occur due to improper injection molding conditions or the incompatibility of a TPE or vulcanized silicone material with certain additives. In addition, the materials’ outstanding mold release improves cycle times, reducing overall energy use to support manufacturers in reaching their sustainability goals.

ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ UV390R is a new ultraviolet (UV) absorbing additive technology suitable for both virgin and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) that allows less than 10% UV light transmission up to 395 nm and helps achieve improved bottle blowing with enhanced recyclability features, including less rPET yellowing.   Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling can protect post-consumer polyolefins against oxidation, typically resulting in defects like black spots, gels, and discoloration.

To better serve these customers, PolyOne has developed this industry-specific collection to focus on the color palettes most applicable for transportation applications,” said Fernando Sanchez, director, global marketing, PolyOne Global Color and Additives. The InVisiO Color Inspiration special collection for the transportation industry will expand as PolyOne continues to work closely with designers and identify additional new color-inspired trends.
