These blends create parts that can withstand higher temperatures than standard PEEK, with better post-processing shrinkage control and improved colorability.     The materials also accept color more readily than standard PEEK formulations, supporting the creativity and branding goals of designers.

Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service is a digital service using sophisticated technology to help illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR for customers, including polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins.

Pre-colored Geon™ FX Metal rigid vinyl lets manufacturers achieve a bold metallic look without the limitations, costs and environmental challenges seen with other methods, such as plating, painting or film lamination.  When paired with new brilliant metallic colorants, these materials streamline production with no tradeoffs in appearance.

Additionally, all grades are available in a natural color, allowing molded-in-color options for a broad range of durable, consumer goods.

These formulations were specifically developed to help automotive tier suppliers improve operating efficiencies in a challenging business environment,” said James Petrie, marketing director, PolyOne Color and Additives.

Avient has developed a "Heat Stability Protocol" to screen new additive solutions for their impact on color and NIAS through two full recycle loops at 100% recycled content. This provides minimal effect on color shift and product safety.

OnColor™ color and additive concentrates help manufacturers transition away from paint to in-mold color (IMC) solutions that maintain aesthetic qualities while eliminating production steps.  

Another benefit to incorporating these soft touch materials in packaging is the ability to add color and texture, allowing a package to stand out from the competition on the store shelf. GLS TPEs can be customized for various color effects, levels of opacity and different types of feel and texture.
