Part of the ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ range, ColorMatrix Amosorb 4020L is designed for medium to long-term shelf life applications and is ideally suited for demanding juices, condiments, sauces, and beer products without stringent CO₂ egress protection.  

Manufacturers of catheters can benefit through increased production efficiency by eliminating a need for co-extrusion, which is typically required to manufacture striped catheters, as well as reducing material usage and complexity.

Our combined expertise was key,” said Jerry Edwards, treasurer and co-owner of Edwards Design & Fabrication, Inc.

These TPE formulations offer an industry-first cradle-to-gate PCF range between negative 0.46 and 0.0 CO₂ equivalent kg/kg product while delivering comparable performance to traditional TPEs.

PolyOne developed a material for our company that is durable, functional and looks great, just like our knives,” said Jean-Charles Quesnel and Philippe Héberlé, the co-founders of Avanona.

The awards were co-organized with TÜV Rheinland, a leader in testing and technical services.
