OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants Near Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ NIR Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for recyclable packaging promotes correct sorting and recycling of dark polymers. This solution permits black and dark color polymers to be detected by near infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling subsequent recycling. Some formuations used to color black and dark colored packaging absorb the wavelengths so darker polymers can’t be identified, inevitably keeping some packaging out of recycling streams at considerable cost to our environment.

Some formuations used to color black and dark colored packaging absorb the wavelengths so darker polymers can’t be identified, inevitably keeping some packaging out of recycling streams at considerable cost to our environment. OnColor NIR Sortable Colorants have been formulated to ensure black and dark packaging is detectable by current waste sorting equipment.

Color and Additives Solutions Overview Colorant and additives overview and capabilities Combination Colorants & Additives: Smartbatch™

PolyOne’s packaging solutions, including both color and material options, work to engage consumers by creating an indulgent brand experience.  In addition, PolyOne’s talented InVisiO™ designers are able to apply extensive polymer and colorant expertise to bring cosmetic packaging to life. They work with customers to create custom palettes or draw from InVisiO Color Inspirations 2017, a collection of four influential and emerging color trends. 

At Packaging of Perfume Cosmetics & Design (PCD, booth #AB17), the company is illustrating the impact of soft-touch TPEs with gold, silver and copper effects and featuring an inspirational portfolio based on the 2017 InVisiOSM Color Inspiration Wanderlust collection from PolyOne Color and Additives.  Our soft-touch TPEs with metallic effects and the latest colors bring together two important sensory aspects—visual and tactile—which strongly influence consumer brand preference.”  At PCD, PolyOne is displaying sample plaques and concept packaging molded from five TPEs that feature the Wanderlust color palette from InVisiOSM Color Inspirations 2017.

ColorMatrix Optica for PC toners offer exceptional visual clarity, color consistency, and color dispersion in transparent PC resins. They help to retain transparent properties, and can prevent undesirable color shifts toward yellows and greens. As an industry leader in solving complex material science problems, we are proud to bring this cutting-edge liquid color toner solution for polycarbonate to the market,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient.

    Color concentrates and formulations developed specifically for healthcare applications in a range of polymers and based on ingredients that meet or exceed requirements for regulations such as USP Class VI, ISO10993   •    Functional additive concentrates and formulations with the same regulatory features as the colorant range to enhance polymer properties or help protect pharmaceutical products     Colorant Chromatics white colorants for high temperature polymers such as PPSU, PES, PSU and PEI to enhance aesthetics and performance of medical devices

This allows our customers the choice of a masterbatch concentrate or pre-colored material that best fits their production process, yet still offers the benefits of our ‘Controlled, Consistent, Compliant’ customized solutions.”  Demand from local and regional customers for pre-colored Mevopur materials stems from an increase in the Asia Pacific market for medical and diagnostic devices and pharmaceutical packaging. Mevopur pre-colored specialty materials are available in a wide range of polymer families.
