CLEVELAND – May 5, 2021 – Avient today announced the launch of ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020R, a non-nylon-containing oxygen scavenger additive specifically formulated to enable the use of up to 100 percent recycled PET (rPET) content. This new additive joins the robust portfolio of ColorMatrix additives that enable improved recycling for plastic packaging. In addition, the additive is compatible with many different rPET grades to help brand owners achieve their sustainability targets.

In addition to its comprehensive portfolio of polymers, functional additives, and colorants for healthcare, PolyOne’s exhibit will include a sampling of healthcare application successes achieved through material science, industry expertise and comprehensive product development support. The portfolio also boasts the addition of Versaflex™ HC BT218, a new biopharmaceutical tubing grade developed in response to supply challenges and sterilization concerns for an array of medical devices Pre-certified OnCap™ HC Plus: Functional additives that complement OnColor™ HC Plus colorant formulations, giving customers a wider range of resin choices and supporting applications that require bio-compatible solutions

In addition, the manufacturer was able to operate at a slightly faster cycle time and with a reduced scrap rate. In addition, the more efficient impact modifier saved the company nearly $40,000 a year in processing costs. In addition, reducing the tote wall thickness resulted in a savings of about $470,000 a year, based on reduction in material usage and lower unit costs for fuel to transport products to retailers.
