Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-Based Polymer Solutions are color and performance-enhancing additive solutions formulated with bio-based polymers for healthcare applications. Mevopur™ Nucleation Additive Concentrates help produce thinner walls in polyolefin applications while maintaining mechanical properties and reduce Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) in HDPE. WithStand™ Antimicrobial Technology provides antimicrobial and antifungal additives that reduce bacterial, mold and fungal growth in finished plastic parts used in hospital surfaces.

Our long fiber products are produced using a pultrusion process in which continuous tows of fiber are pulled through an impregnation die (to introduce polymer and additive solutions) and then chopped to length (typically 12mm) in a pelletizer.   In contrast, short fiber reinforced solutions are produced by introducing pre-chopped fibers (typically 1mm or less) into an extruder where the fibers are mixed with polymer and other additives.  In addition to a gain in toughness performance LFTs also boost stiffness and strength as well.

In addition, testing is underway to support an application for MPG recognition for the same colorants for polypropylene resin (PP). As a leader in sustainable colorant and additive solutions for polymers, we are proud to have received this recognition from the Association of Plastics Recyclers and look forward to further supporting our customers to reach their recycling goals,” said Mayendran Pillay, director of marketing for Color & Additives, U.S. and Canada, at Avient.

We understand that many consider the use of colorants and additives that rely on virgin resin carriers to nullify the claim of 100 percent PCR, so we worked to develop a solution that could help our customers deliver fully on their sustainability commitments,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient. Rejoin PCR Masterbatch combines pigments and functional additives into a single solution without negatively affecting color or mechanical properties.
