– February 27, 2023 – Avient Corporation will exhibit and participate at the Plastics Recycling Conference next week, highlighting its polymer solutions that help make plastics more recyclable and improve recycled resin.   Avient will also be showcasing its newly launched PCR Color Prediction Service – a digital tool that supports post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin coloration.  

These bio-derived colors can be used with recycled and bio-derived resins, and can also be formulated for use with fully biodegradable and compostable resins.

Custom formulations are available for a full range of resins to cover all wire and cable applications. Or, you can choose OnColor WC Choice colorants for EVA and PE resins – a cost-effective alternative in standard stock colors for shorter lead times and smaller minimum orders.

All Colorant Chromatics Reinforced Formulations are based on ETFE, E-CTFE, FEP, PFA, MFA, THV, PVDF, PEI, PEEK, PES, PSU and PPSU resins.  Learn about high-performance thermoplastics that surpass commodity and engineering resins

Now that resin producers are offering bio-based polyolefins and other polymers pre-tested to healthcare standards, the healthcare industry can start switching to bio-based polymers and bio-based polymer solutions to help reduce the carbon footprint and increase the sustainability of their plastic parts. These color and additive solutions are available as concentrates or ready-to-use pre-colored formulations in bio-based polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, styrenic resins and ABS.
