CLEVELAND – October 18, 2021 – Avient Corporation today announced new Gravi-Tech™ density-modified thermoplastics that enable advanced metal plating surface treatments to deliver both the look and feel of metal in premium packaging applications.  In addition, these materials provide the design freedom and manufacturing ease of thermoplastics for use in applications such as luxury closures, caps, and boxes.  These metallization-ready grades give premium packaging manufacturers a simpler way to incorporate the luxurious look and weight of metal into their products,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.

MUNICH – September 10, 2019 – At the 2019 Beverage Packaging Conference in Munich, PolyOne today announced the commercial availability of ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat RHC as part of its circular economy solutions portfolio for recycled PET (rPET) and PET bottles.   Wei Zhang at PTI, a package engineering firm, commented that SmartHeat RHC demonstrated “impressive color performance.”   

V-0, V-1, V-2 and 5VA/5VB ratings for more than 200 specific engineering resins Cesa™ Laser Additives allow manufacturers to optimize the use of laser technology to create markings or assemble plastic parts.  

polyolefins, polyesters) and engineering plastics (e.g., polycarbonate, ABS, POM, PBT). Now that resin producers are offering bio-based polyolefins and other polymers pre-tested to healthcare standards, the healthcare industry can start switching to bio-based polymers and bio-based polymer solutions to help reduce the carbon footprint and increase the sustainability of their plastic parts.

OnColor™ Edgeglo™ Bright Edge Transparence Colorants are formulated fluorescent concentrates that cause the edges, embossing and reliefs on a part to glow brighter than the flat surfaces. OnColor Edgeglo colorants process well in thermoplastic applications.

Our portfolio is designed to help our customers overcome healthcare challenges with durable, lightweight, eco-conscious and lower carbon footprint materials. Reducing consumption from non-renewable energy sources is a key part of Avient’s path to carbon neutrality by 2050.

Polystrand™ R continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are made with a resin matrix of greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET). Composites are inherently lightweight alternatives to metal and other materials, enabling sustainability initiatives such as material reduction and fuel economy improvements in many end products.

Engineered Polymer Services As more consumers look to do their part and rethink their consumption habits, they are placing increased value on brands with responsible practices and products that align with such ideals. Electronics brand owners can do their part by keeping recyclability top of mind during development, as well as embracing technologies and material sciences that reduce material requirements and improve recycling potential.
