In addition, processing efficiencies are reduced as the material is recycled. Formulated for addition to virgin PET and recycled PET (rPET), heat-stable ColorMatrix Optica blue toners work to correct and reduce the yellowing or color variation that typically occurs during the recycling process.

ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ UV390R is a new ultraviolet (UV) absorbing additive technology suitable for both virgin and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) that allows less than 10% UV light transmission up to 395 nm and helps achieve improved bottle blowing with enhanced recyclability features, including less rPET yellowing.   Cesa™ Nox A4R Additives for Recycling can protect post-consumer polyolefins against oxidation, typically resulting in defects like black spots, gels, and discoloration.

In addition, we were able to deliver improved flame retardance, enabling the integration of electronics in the booster pump control head to improve cost-effectiveness versus metal or glass-filled polymer alternatives.” In addition to booster pump control heads, the technology can be extended to pump housings, diffusers, impellers, water softeners, valves, actuators, flow meters, flanges, seal plates, motor mounting plates, motor lock rings, and union connectors.

CLEVELAND – October 28, 2019 – PolyOne today announced the launch of reSound™ OM (overmolding) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), the latest addition to its sustainable solutions portfolio. In addition, the new grades feature easy colorability, a major requirement for applications such as cosmetics packaging, personal care products, and consumer electronics.

This can occur due to improper injection molding conditions or the incompatibility of a TPE or vulcanized silicone material with certain additives. In addition, the materials’ outstanding mold release improves cycle times, reducing overall energy use to support manufacturers in reaching their sustainability goals.

MANNHEIM, Germany – April 3, 2019 – This week at the Plastics in Automotive Engineering (PIAE) congress, PolyOne is presenting its deep portfolio of advanced polymers, colorants, and additives that help automotive manufacturers keep pace with changes in technology and consumer demand. PHOTO CAPTION: At PIAE 2019, PolyOne is presenting its deep portfolio of advanced polymers, colorants, and additives that help automotive manufacturers keep pace with changes in technology and consumer demand.

In addition to a high level of jetness, deep black colorants require very high light fastness (resistance to fading and discoloration when exposed to light) for automotive applications, robust wash fastness (resistance to frequent washing) for sportswear, and resistance to fading from frequent use for fashion and home textiles.   Satisfying all of these needs for deep black colorants in the textile industry has proven to be challenging over the past few years as certain color technologies could meet only one or two but not all requirements,” said Mauro Dallavalle, senior marketing manager, Color & Additives Fibers at Avient.

The addition of Dow Corning® brand silicones to the PolyOne Distribution portfolio broadens the ability of both companies to support healthcare customers in China. This agreement and our growing relationship with PolyOne Distribution are significant additions to our capabilities.”

In addition to a boost in design capabilities, our new stain-resistant TPEs also offer the supply chain flexibility and ease of processing that brands require to bring their white and light-colored phone cases to market both quickly and cost effectively.” In addition to blue jean stain resistance, the new Versaflex CE material provides the performance manufacturers expect from a consumer material.

This Zodiac Libra silicone ink portfolio includes bases, additives, ready-for-use (RFU) colors, toner colors, pigment concentrates, and special effect inks. Bases and additives are used to produce soft hand, high stretch or other performance characteristics
