We’re excited to talk with customers at NPE about the ways in which our specialty formulations, technical and design services, and innovative polymer science can be used to energize their product development process and business objectives,” said Cathy Dodd, vice president, Marketing, at PolyOne. Together with our design resources, we are exploring this technology to help customers evaluate multiple iterations faster and optimize their manufacturing process as well as their product’s performance and aesthetics,” Dodd explained. Geon™ BIO flexible vinyl is a non-phthalate material that offers 30% biobased content with no performance tradeoffs and excellent processability for healthcare, footwear and furniture applications.

Processing additives and nucleating agents for dimensional stability How can you make the most of color, from design through processing? Sync design with manufacturability: Learn about how Avient Design can help simplify your new product development process

Avient is fully committed to increasing opportunities to expand the use of recycled polymers, addressing any barriers that arise either during the recycling process or when customers want to incorporate PCR content into existing or new applications,” said Norbert Merklein, vice president and general manager for the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions of Color, Additives and Inks at Avient. By speeding the evaluation process, the service also gives greater flexibility to customers that may need to switch from one PCR content source to another, which is especially important due to today’s supply variability. The antioxidant can be added to PCR content early in the recycling process or incorporated in virgin resin to prepare it for future recycling. 

This high-tech facility will allow our dedicated team to understand the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process, and to see how and where problems occur. Avient will use this data to develop new and unique masterbatch formulations with proven science behind how they perform during recycling processes, offering customers a portfolio that’s essentially field-tested for recycling. Avient expects this to improve the ability of new technologies to be implemented in recycling processes and to assist brand owners in raising the sustainability of their products.
