Our long fiber products are produced using a pultrusion process in which continuous tows of fiber are pulled through an impregnation die (to introduce polymer and additive solutions) and then chopped to length (typically 12mm) in a pelletizer.   In contrast, short fiber reinforced solutions are produced by introducing pre-chopped fibers (typically 1mm or less) into an extruder where the fibers are mixed with polymer and other additives.  In addition to a gain in toughness performance LFTs also boost stiffness and strength as well.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-Based Polymer Solutions are color and performance-enhancing additive solutions formulated with bio-based polymers for healthcare applications. Mevopur™ Nucleation Additive Concentrates help produce thinner walls in polyolefin applications while maintaining mechanical properties and reduce Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) in HDPE. WithStand™ Antimicrobial Technology provides antimicrobial and antifungal additives that reduce bacterial, mold and fungal growth in finished plastic parts used in hospital surfaces.

Caption: Explore the possibilities for polymers, colorants, additives, and services with Avient at Plastimagen 2022 in Mexico City. Sustainable portfolio of polymer solutions: Colorants, additives, and specialty formulations from Avient are categorized into eight ways that facilitate sustainable outcomes. Solutions include bio-polymers, eco-conscious materials, sustainable infrastructure materials, additives to improve recycling, and more.

In addition, testing is underway to support an application for MPG recognition for the same colorants for polypropylene resin (PP). As a leader in sustainable colorant and additive solutions for polymers, we are proud to have received this recognition from the Association of Plastics Recyclers and look forward to further supporting our customers to reach their recycling goals,” said Mayendran Pillay, director of marketing for Color & Additives, U.S. and Canada, at Avient.

We understand that many consider the use of colorants and additives that rely on virgin resin carriers to nullify the claim of 100 percent PCR, so we worked to develop a solution that could help our customers deliver fully on their sustainability commitments,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient. Rejoin PCR Masterbatch combines pigments and functional additives into a single solution without negatively affecting color or mechanical properties.

In addition, this unique technology increases production efficiency by eliminating the coextrusion process used to manufacture striped catheters, as well as reducing material usage and scrap rates. NEU View formulations for cardiovascular and intravascular catheters are application-specific, incorporating medical-grade polymers, additives, color, and healthcare-centric manufacturing practices. PolyOne is exhibiting NEU View and additional advanced healthcare solutions this week at MD&M West in booth #3213. 

In addition, the design included more traditional features, such as four small support feet on the underside of the mouse for low-friction, easy-glide operation. Together, the manufacturer and Avient settled on a final formulation that could utilize existing tooling, thereby avoiding additional costs. In addition, the profit margin on this product was about 30% higher than that of other models.

MANNHEIM, Germany – April 3, 2019 – PolyOne will display its colorant and additive solutions for the automotive industry at this week’s Plastics in Automotive Engineering (PIAE) Conference in Mannheim, Germany. In addition to new colors, the company will present solutions to support design and efficient manufacturing of electric vehicles (EVs). Vehicle designers want to establish and distinguish their EV brands with exciting new colors that reflect consumers’ environmental priorities, and we’re responding to this trend with stylish options,” explained Gary Fielding, global director of marketing, Color & Additives at PolyOne.
