Home // Getting More Efficient with Polymer Colorants Avient has introduced a special liquid color production system that could be a good fit if you are ordering small lots of colorant. It also allows for batch-to-batch consistency to address color variations.

The second presentation, titled Management of Vehicle Indoor Air Quality with Sustainable Polymer Additive Solutions, will discuss developing a range of emission and VOC-controlling technologies that can reduce undesirable material emissions, increasing safety and comfort. Avient does this by offering a multitude of solutions, including those that can enable greater use of recycled materials, such as its award-winning Color Prediction Service, and lightweighting solutions, such as Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents. Visitors to Avient’s booth #17 can expect to see examples of foamed parts and molded-in-colors for automotive interiors, including aesthetic effects such as speckles, sparkles, and metallics, in addition to the latest ColorForward™ Color Trend Forecast.

Avient is fully committed to increasing opportunities to expand the use of recycled polymers, helping customers to incorporate or increase PCR content into new and existing applications,” said Mayendran Pillay, Director of Marketing for Color & Additives, U.S. and Canada, at Avient. As early adopters of our PCR Color Prediction Service, L’Oréal achieved consistent colors across various PCR grades in different countries, enabling them to launch with fewer color iterations and color trials, thereby reducing complexity and increasing speed.” PLASTICS advances the priorities of our members, who are dedicated to investing in technologies that improve capabilities and advances in recycling and sustainability and providing essential products that allow for the protection and safety of our lives.

SAFETY & HEALTH POLICY Avient Corporation believes that safety and health are the highest corporate priority. As a member of the American Chemistry Council, we have adopted Responsible Care® Guiding Principles and the Process Safety Management Practices to continuously guide our efforts to improve safety performance. Our practices reinforce these imperatives, and our commitment to excellence in safety and health is absolute.

Additive technologies such as custom color, lubrication and UV performance enhancement are also available to customize your solution.  Colorable for product branding or quick identification Compare long glass fiber thermoplastics strength, toughness, impact data and more.
