RejoinTM PCR Masterbatch uses PCR as a carrier resin, effectively allowing a bottle or part to be manufactured with 100% PCR.
Simplify the process to develop color in recycled resin for L’Oréal to achieve global color consistency, while working towards their 2030 objective to have 100% of the plastics used in its packaging be made from recycled or bio-based material.
Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Service helped L’Oréal simplify overall color development with recycled resin.

Made from polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) resin, Transcend Premier Healthcare Colorants, including pre-colored solutions, can withstand up to 1,000 autoclave cycles and high heat sterilization up to 150C.
These resins also maintain dimensional stability while providing chemical resistance against the effects of harsh cleaning agents.
Additional iterations are in development for other high-performance resins, including polyethersulfone (PES) and polysulfone (PSU).
