Developed by a global team, many of whom work in the four Avient ColorWorks™ design and technology centers around the world, this unique tool has become invaluable to plastic product designers and marketing professionals seeking help in making more informed color choices for new products and packaging.   “For 2022, the overall color palette is dominated by shades of yellow,” explains Judith van Vliet, ColorWorks Senior Designer and leader of the ColorForward team, “and many of the other colors are joined to the yellow family. Avient ColorWorks also offers seminars at its four design and technology centers around the world, as well as at selected conferences and customer sites.

PolyOne’s exhibit space includes four presentation areas and a large back feature wall, displaying a total of over 100 printed designs that show distinct aesthetic characteristics of each ink. Uniquely themed artwork showcases the radiant special effects, opaque colors, and brilliant white inks used to bring the designs to life. Wilflex Epic Bolt low-cure/low-bleed and Shock low-cure cotton are white inks designed to cure at 270°F and can be cured in an oven shared with standard plastisol inks

This guide is created annually to help plastic product designers, brand managers, and marketing professionals make more informed color choices.   Brand owners and designers of packaging and consumer plastic products can use these colors and effects as inspiration to define the aesthetics of their new products and achieve more shelf recognition.   Avient offers ColorForward seminars at its four ColorWorks design and technology centers worldwide, as well as at selected conferences and customer sites.

Design factors, such as shape or wall thickness, are certainly important as are other factors, like screw design and line speed, which all influence the choice of materials. Let us help you choose an existing formulation or we can design a custom color based on your needs. Technical information, design guides, processing information and more.

These advanced materials will help increase speed to market and design flexibility for 5G base station antenna manufacturers. New customizable Edgetek Formulations for 5G feature specific Dk values and reduced dissipation factors (Df), enabling faster design qualification and shorter lead times. Both materials can help 5G base station antenna manufactures to streamline their design and process development.

Beyond providing impact protection performance, these specially designed TPEs enable designers, engineers, and product managers to improve abrasion resistance, design thinner cases, and tell a new story for their phone case design.

MANNHEIM, Germany – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, is exhibiting its specialty portfolio of technologies to automotive designers and engineers this week at the 2014 VDI Plastics in Automotive Engineering conference.  PolyOne is also exhibiting several specialty materials that help automotive designers to optimize sustainability, improve design freedom and boost manufacturing efficiency in the following areas: Vibration and noise control: By replacing traditional rubber and other thermosets, GLS™ TPE formulations tackle noise and vibration issues on exterior mirrors and other parts, while providing functional sealing, greater design freedom, and part consolidation through overmolding.

As sustainable and functional products and packaging becomes an increasingly important aspect of the consumer experience, consumer package goods companies who utilize TPEs in their designs are finding value from better performance, differentiation, and end-use recyclability.” Because GLS TPEs can be used and overmolded onto a wide range of substrates without the use of adhesives, they also offer greater design freedom.
