Dust-free Plastic Surfaces for Automotive Interiors Looking for a solution to prevent dust settling on plastic surfaces in automotive interiors? Mevopur nucleating agents help neutralize the effect colors can have on the mechanical properties of the finished plastic part to avoid warping and size variability.

It is estimated that over 80% of the plastic parts used in automotive applications end up in landfills or incinerators* after reaching end-of-life.

As part of the OnColor™ Polymer Colorants masterbatch portfolio, this group of ten masterbatch colorants enables plastic to mimic naturally occurring materials such as stone, marble, and granite. Formulated using a proprietary process, colors in the Shades of Nature Collection will give brand owners a wide range of possibilities in creating individual, artisanal looks in plastic. In combination with surface texture and part geometry, these masterbatches give plastic parts the appearance of naturally-occurring materials so that, for example, designers could create a toaster that appears to be carved out of granite.

Growing concerns over single-use plastics and their impact on the environment are prompting legislation changes globally. Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic PolyOne employs approximately 5,600 associates, is certified ACC Responsible Care® and Great Place to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste. 

Reclaimed end-of-life fishing nets avoid plastic ocean waste, and are the basis of Complēt R nylon 6 long fiber composites. Creating a positive environmental impact by reducing ocean-bound plastic waste, Complēt R nylon 6 long fiber composites can help OEMs to meet their goals for using materials containing recycled content. Avient employs approximately 8,700 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.  

Fueling this growth, in part, are public commitments from brands across a range of industries to increase their use of recycled plastics.

Among all the different types of plastics on the market today, why would anyone choose polyaryletherketones (PAEK), polysulfones (PSU), liquid crystal polymers (LCP), polyetherimides (PEI) and polyphenylene sulfides (PPS) for their application? While commodity plastics and engineering plastics can typically maintain their performance in environments up to 100°C and up to 120°C, respectively, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C.

As legislation sets new targets for increasing the recycled content in plastic packaging, safeguarding the quality of rPET is critical, especially for food-contact applications. Designing additives and recycling processes with circularity in mind is essential for the future of sustainable plastic packaging. The journey is challenging, but with continuous innovation and a commitment to sustainability, a circular economy for plastics is achievable.
