One angle is to offer chemical foaming agents that help reduce plastic material use. They also improve the visual appearance of plastic components by reducing sink marks. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

Sustainability Spotlight Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents Reflection electron microscopy (REM) view of foamed plastic Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents are supplied as concentrates CHEMICAL FOAMING AGENTS (CFAs) are chemical substances that react under the influence of heat to release gas into the plastic matrix during the manufacturing process of plastic parts. The gases form a cellular foam structure in the plastic that reduces the amount of material needed and hence the part’s weight. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

OnColor™ Color Concentrates for Non-Phtalate PVC Formulations Plasticizers are a major component in PVC formulations. There are different chemistries, including formulations that contain phthalates and non-phthalate plasticizers. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

In addition to common environmental simulation or functional performance testing services, Avient can also conduct individualized testing and simulations in order to optimize material formulations, product performance, or design.

With the recognition, OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants are preferred for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin in black and dark colors, according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability. OnColor NIR Sortable Colorants from Avient provide a solution to this problem, allowing the packaging to be visible to a NIR optical sorter, enabling it to sort into the correct plastic stream. Avient is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.

According to several expert projections, the world may produce over 400 million tons of plastic waste annually by 2030. The PCR grade is formulated with recycled ocean plastics from Oceanworks®, an accelerator program participant within the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, a non-profit group that includes Avient as a founding member. About Oceanworks Oceanworks® is the global marketplace for recycled ocean plastics.
