The increased use of rPET in PET bottles can lead to increased AA levels, but can also compromise bottle mechanical strength and create blowouts, both of which reduce productivity and increase scrap rates. This technology helps to overcome these issues so that higher levels of rPET can be used, and it can be combined with recycle-friendly toners to offset the yellowing common with increased rPET content. ColorMatrix AAzure was developed in response to the need for brand owners and convertors to find solutions that enable increased levels of rPET in their products without reducing performance or quality.

It can clear fogging immediately in hot conditions, and within 5 minutes in cold conditions. This additive can be used in both rigid and flexible food packaging, including mono- and multilayer structures. Available as a solid masterbatch, the additive can be extruded with packaging resins without the need for extra equipment.

Further, several injection points can be added to run multiple colors or additives at the same time on a single extruder to enhance flexibility. Visitors can also learn about the broader portfolio of PolyOne solutions for textiles, including Wilflex™ screen printing ink solutions for polyester.

Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Manufactured without intentionally added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-based or fluorinated raw materials, they offer a more sustainable solution developed with evolving regulatory requirements in mind. Mevopur colorants can be used for various needs, such as brand recognition and differentiation, drug identification, and visual appeal. Likewise, Mevopur functional additives can help to protect or enhance the performance of polymers used in medical devices, diagnostics, or pharmaceutical packaging.

These braces, traditionally made with steel, were initially fabricated from aluminum for a solid weight savings of 3 kg per vehicle over steel versions.

Next to lower density, design optimization for the use of thermally conductive materials is key for the weight and cost saving that our Avient Design specialists provide as an additional service to our customers. In using a thermoplastic, Elausa has been able to simplify manufacturing, now injection molding the complex heat sink in a single step, saving production time and increasing capacity.
