PolyOne offers a single channel for thermoplastic and thermoset resins used in medical applications, and customers can also leverage expanded healthcare-focused resources to accelerate product development and regulatory compliance.

Adding this technology to bottle preforms enables improved recyclability and reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared with reheat-free PET resin for substantial production cost savings. 

RESINS OnColor Naturals can be used with recycled resins, bio-derived resins, or biodegradable resins.

Color & Additive Formulations for Biodegradable Resins & Blends Using a selected list of pigments and additives, Avient color experts know how to enhance biodegradable starch blends or PLA without affecting degradability of the resins. Our current portfolio of pre-tested pigments offers: • A wide range of color masterbatch options • From opaque to transparent—depending on the blend or resin It is important to note that the final colors will depend on the percentage of use, the resin, the thickness, and the opacity. Starch blend resins often vary from white to brown and this can influence the final color rendering in the application.

Colorant Chromatics™ PEI Masterbatch Colors for High-Temperature Injection Molding Applications Colorant Chromatics™ PEI colorants are specifically designed to color polyetherimide (PEI) resin used in high-temperature injection molding applications. Since PEI resin offers excellent resistance to heat and fire, and has very good dimensional stability, it is ideal for a variety of applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, telecommunications and healthcare. Colorant Chromatics PEI colorants are designed specifically for use in these resins to help boost color consistency and streamline product development for increased speed to market.

Colorant Chromatics color concentrates and pre-colored solutions are based on resins from the world’s leading suppliers. Because of the thermal similarities of the resins they can also be used on PFA substrates. They feature a synthetic resin binder to hold the pigment in place after sintering.
