ColorMatrix AAnchor is an acetaldehyde control technology developed to address the challenges associated with increased rPET content in PET packaging.

CAPTION: PolyOne has developed five new medical-grade polymer carriers within itsOnColor™ HC Plus portfolio.

For the brace, Avient's engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating.

The entire range was developed to offer our customers an easy way to convert to non-PVC technology.” 

DÜSSELDORF, Germany – PolyOne has developed new formulations of its well-established LubriOne™ anti-wear materials that enable customers to manufacture highest quality parts at even greater levels of efficiency.

Developed as a more sustainable alternative for biopharmaceutical tubing, the initial Versaflex HC BIO BT218 grade is formulated with nearly 40% first-generation biomass content, resulting in a lower carbon footprint than traditional alternatives.  

The new formulations are Avient’s first PCR-containing TPE technology developed primarily for overmolding polycarbonate (PC), acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS blends in applications from consumer electronics, cosmetics packaging, and personal care items to power tools and toys.

It was developed to address a trend toward creating products that appear more natural and less manufactured.

These REACH SVHC compliant TPEs have been particularly successful in Europe, where PolyOne application engineers are collaborating with brands in the early product development stages to help create highly effective, differentiated products.”

Department of Homeland Security logged $145 million worth of counterfeit consumer electronics entering the country, and PolyOne's material was developed to help counteract the trend," Mr.
