HVAC doors are typically produced by injection molding two parts that provide structural strength and air sealing performance. This global reach also allowed Avient to respond quickly to mold trials, and eliminate import and shipping challenges. Avient engineered a new customized formulation for the part, which provided both the processability required for extremely short cycle injection-compression molding, as well as including an additive to stabilize the material when in contact with copper.

It’s truly a win-win for our customers,” explained Christoph Palm, vice president, general manager, Color and Additives EMEA & India for PolyOne.    The beam changes the molecular structure of the additive, causing a color change and creating a permanent mark. We encourage manufacturers to collaborate with our laser marking experts to ensure that marking and contrast can be optimized for each color and polymer.”

Fully customizable, OnColor Naturals includes a range of colorants made with natural pigments derived from plants, flowers, roots and minerals. These bio-derived colors can be used with recycled and bio-derived resins, and can also be formulated for use with fully biodegradable and compostable resins. Mineral and botanical pigments can be mixed together to adjust color tones, with plant-based pigments enabling vivid color and mineral pigments helping achieve calm and earthy tones.

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.
