Chemically resistant polymers to protect against harsh medical-grade cleaners and disinfectants  Polymer Colorants Chemically Resistant Polymers for Next-Generation Devices

Avient Corporation addresses major trends and challenges in the polymer industry at Chinaplas 2024 with innovative colorants, additives, and services developed to enhance performance, efficiency, and sustainability. These new orange colorants, developed as part of Avient’s OnColor portfolio, can help improve the heat and long-term color stability of cautionary, orange-colored polymers in both engineering and general-purpose plastics with no or limited adverse effects on mechanical properties or flame retardancy and can also be customized for laser marking (link to full press release here).   Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants: high-temperature solutions offered in pre-colored or concentrate form in a range of vivid opaque and transparent colors that are fully bio-compatible per ISO 10993 standards to provide ultra-high-heat resistance and performance without compromising safety

Manufacturer Gunei Chemical Industry Co. °C > 150 NOVOLOID NOVOLOID DATA Standard Modulus * Equilibrium moisture regain @ 55% RH ** Creep @ 40%-58% ultimate tensile strength *** Shrinkage in dry air @ 177 C for 30 minutes  CHEMICAL COMPATIBILITY Chemical Resistance to Acid: Degrades in concentrated or hot Nitric and Sulfuric acid. They also add important characteristics, such as SWELLCOAT® water-blocking, water repellence, adhe- sion, color, and wear and UV-resistance to these and many other applications.

Game changing concentrates for polymer parts create a metallic surface finish that truly mimics paint while eliminating the painting process. It’s a cost-effective option for paint replacement on polymer parts and creates an exceptional metallic color that continues through the part’s thickness,” says Rob Bindner, Americas vice president & general manager, Color and Additives for PolyOne. PHOTO CAPTION: OnColor™ Brilliant Metallic colorants from PolyOne are an effective choice for paint replacement on polymer parts where a high-quality metallic finish is desired. 

Coloring polymers in any process gives a degree of freedom and flexibility that’s not possible with pre-colored polymers. There’s actually also a third potential pitfall here: A processor who purchases one type of equipment (liquid-color dosing or solid-color feeders) may wrongly believe their operation cannot accommodate the other type of color technology.

VALUE SOLUTION Improve safety and reduce costs with Gravi-Tech formulations When Gravi-Tech polymer metal composites are substituted for lead, manufacturers can avoid the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with lead. If the material is shear-sensitive, consult the material data sheet or processing guide for instructions to set recovery time • The cooling time should only be 1–2 seconds longer than the screw recovery time, unless dictated by dimensional stability or part thickness Minimize Clamp Pressure This step is done to reduce the amount of energy used by the machine It provides additional mixing to the melt, which is especially helpful when using colorants.
