This guide provides a representative sampling of the portfolio available in North America, highlighting select grades for the consumer, healthcare and transportation markets. Prior to testing, the samples were heated to 65C for 30 minutes.

The PCR Color Prediction Service can help shorten the time-to-launch of new product ranges, allowing fast and reliable checks prior to initiating sample development. 

PCR Color Prediction Service – winner of the 2023 Re|focus Sustainable Innovation in Design Award and a finalist for the 2023 Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE) Product Technology Innovation of the Year Award, this digital service supports PCR resin coloration by illustrating the color possibilities or limitations of certain PCR material before sample development to help simplify the overall decision-making process for brand owners and technical colorists.  

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.

Samples will be on display next week at NPE 2015 in PolyOne’s Customer Innovation Center, Room S230BC.
