OnColor™ Color Concentrates
for Non-Phtalate PVC Formulations
Plasticizers are a major component in PVC
formulations.
Due to the rise in non-phthalate plasticizer
demand, Avient offers a range of color concentrates
suitable for these formulations.
These color concentrates are designed to ensure
optimal incorporation in the non-phthalate PVC
formulations used in wire and cable applications.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations
and Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives
for In Vitro Diagnostic Devices
Diagnostic devices and consumables, now more
than ever, play a vital role in delivery of safe
treatements.
Plastic materials offer opportunities and play an
increasingly vital role: colors aid identification and
automated laboratory processes while functional
additives expand the usable property window of
the polymer in areas such as surface chemistry
or oxygen protection.
