Tenure of our relationships with multi-national OEMs exceeds 15 years. Our exceptional polymer scientists and design engineers are integral to their product development process. It’s in this spirit that we joined legacy PolyOne and the Clariant Color business, two complementary businesses, and formed a new one that we’ve named Avient.

The use of PCR material grades from the Borcycle™ M portfolio from Borealis in tandem with specifically developed formulations from the Avient OnColor™ portfolio can help achieve a desired color effect with low levels of colorant addition and good detectability in the sorting process  Plus, the color formulations have been specifically developed for use with PCR without disturbing detectability in the sorting process.  We supply services and products to customers around the globe through Borealis and two important joint ventures: Borouge (with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, or ADNOC, based in UAE); and Baystar™   (with TotalEnergies, based in the US). www.borealisgroup.com  | www.borealiseverminds.com
