Hydrocerol™ Foaming Agents: These additives are commonly used in consumer goods and automotive components to reduce part weight without compromising stiffness or mechanical properties. ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Toners & Colors to correct and reduce yellowing and improve the quality of PET Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

They can be used to accelerate the development of healthcare products and help reduce the risk of non-compliance. Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions — to help reduce carbon footprint, this range of color and additive concentrates are formulated with bio-based polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, and styrenic polymers, offering significant carbon footprint reductions of 70% to 120% compared to their fossil-fuel-based counterparts, and manufactured under the same quality management system as other Mevopur products, they are drop-in solutions that can be used like their fossil-fuel-based counterparts in the injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging Mevopur™ chemical foaming agents — to reduce material use by up to 20% depending on part geometry and wall thickness, these biocompatible chemical foaming solutions are suitable for the injection molding and extrusion of polyolefins, styrenics, and copolymers

These highlights include inks that can reduce energy use and inks manufactured with biopolymers. The innovations we are showcasing here at Impressions Expo offer our customers water-based, silicone, and non-PVC inks, as well as reduced energy use, and now bio-derived solutions for customers seeking renewable alternatives that won’t compromise on performance while yielding high-quality results,” said Tito Echiburu, General Manager, Avient Specialty Inks. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

Avient’s team of industry experts will showcase colorants, additives, and services aimed at reducing waste, promoting correct sorting and recycling of packaging, achieving high color loadings, and more, including: Hiformer™ Liquid Masterbatches: offer a unique combination of chemistry, engineering, and customizable colorant and additive solutions for the specific needs of the application that encourages top performance, flexibility, and sustainability for packaging that can help reduce overall carbon footprint Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

This will reduce material residence time at temperature and dead time in the barrel. Reducing the transfer pressure from boost to pack and hold will help to control drool at the bushing tip. Reduced physical properties.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Toners & Colors, when added to PET and recycled PET (rPET) materials, correct and reduce the color variations and yellowing that occurs during the recycling process. Formulations also improve downstream manufacturing and reduce costs for converters, bottle blowers, and ultimately, CPG companies. ColorMatrix™ rePrize™ IV Builder is a patented, liquid additive for the manufacture of rPET that increases the quality and performance of the recycled material, while reducing the energy needed to produce it.

The addition of a catalyst is not effective in reducing dye migration and will reduce elongation/stretch of ink film.  Adding reducers will compromise the effectiveness of your low bleed inks.

This comes as the German Bundestag has passed an amendment to the country’s 2019 Packaging Act, aimed at both avoiding, and recycling, packaging waste to reduce its impact on the environment, a move that will make PET packaging even more sustainable. For brand owners seeking to maximize their rPET usage up to 100% to achieve sustainability and recyclability targets, Amosorb 4020R offers a cost-effective solution with reliable oxygen scavenging performance with reduced yellowness and improved haze levels on final bottles. SmartHeat RHC also allows for a reduction in energy during the bottle blowing process, helping to reduce carbon emissions.

This cutting-edge tool can help customers evaluate the carbon footprint of Avient’s specialized and sustainable material solutions, understand the environmental impact of end products, and navigate the complex landscape of reducing carbon emissions.   Fiber-Line™ Engineered Fiber Solutions are high-performing synthetic fibers that can be color-coated, add strength, reduce cable weight or diameter, replace metal in the most demanding wire and cable applications, provide water-blocking capability in dry cable applications, and are developed for optimal rip performance in cable jacketing and armor   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint
