Avient announces its newest ColorWorks™ Design Center in Mexico City to help foster inspiration for the polymer industry through color and trend consultation.   Avient customers can work directly with ColorWorks teams in the early stages of product development to help shorten their time to market, control costs, and manage color consistently across the globe.   As with all Avient ColorWorks facilities, the new location will offer Color, Material, and Finish (CMF) trend consultation, in-person or virtual color development, rapid prototyping, and more.

It planned to reduce the amount of lead processed at its Plant No. 2 by 20 percent – or 20,000 pounds – through substituting reduced-lead or lead-free compounds and color concentrates. They also switched from color concentrates containing heavy metal to RoHS-compliant OnColor™ color concentrates. Enhanced “green” reputation: Kalas ultimately removed 100,000 pounds of lead from its operations, due in large part to reformulated vinyl compounds and color concentrates.

Cycle time improvement, reduced maintenance costs, color standardization mark success To assure color consistency, the development process also included creation of color specifications – the first time the OEM had such standardization for underhood parts.
