This high-tech facility will allow our dedicated team to understand the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process, and to see how and where problems occur. For example, why and where are polymer chains degrading?

CLEVELAND – September 25, 2018 – PolyOne recently collaborated with Rapid Oxygen, a Stamford, CT-based company founded in 2013, on polymer selection for the development of its new emergency oxygen device called R15. PolyOne Corporation, with 2017 revenues of $3.2 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

Avient is fully committed to increasing opportunities to expand the use of recycled polymers, addressing any barriers that arise either during the recycling process or when customers want to incorporate PCR content into existing or new applications,” said Norbert Merklein, vice president and general manager for the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions of Color, Additives and Inks at Avient. This premium service simplifies and accelerates the selection of preferred colors for polymers with PCR content, avoiding time-consuming trial and error.

This new technology offers enhanced color and aesthetic options with unique metallic effects, meeting the growing demands of high-performance polymer applications with a more sustainable alternative to traditional painting processes. This new technology also reinforces Avient's collaboration with BASF in offering the global market metallic-colored grades of Ultrason® high-performance polymers.

Avient’s Chin Bee Site in Singapore has earned ISCC PLUS accreditation for polymer products with mass balance-certified bio-derived feedstock content. This certification demonstrates that the polymer solutions produced at this site use the mass balance approach to certify bio-derived feedstock materials with reliable traceability, clear identification of feedstock sources, and accurate sustainability claims.

Our group of experienced industrial designers and project engineers combine design, polymer science and manufacturing expertise to streamline customers’ product development process and sharpen their competitive edge. PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), with 2018 revenues of $3.5 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

Each color concept is a combination of color, special effects (if used), and polymers that are carefully selected on-site at one of Avient’s ColorWorks Design and Technology Centers. For example, they can illustrate how color concepts can be transferred to other plastics (resins) while keeping polymer properties in mind.
