New OnColor™ REC Polymer Colorants from Avient are derived from recycled content such as end-of-life tires and more, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional carbon black formulations. They offer an alternative to traditional carbon black formulations and can help manufacturers reduce their product carbon footprint (PCF). They are versatile, can be used in multiple resins, and are available in standard and custom color formulations.

– 2020年2月3日 – At Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) West next week, PolyOne will launch its newest medical grade, Versaflex™ HC BT218, formulated in response to supply challenges stemming from silicone shortages and sterilization facility closures. In response, PolyOne formulated Versaflex™ HC BT218 TPE for biopharmaceutical tubing applications. The company adds value to global customers and improves sustainability through formulating materials, such as:

ECCOH™ Non-Halogenated Formulations: flame retardance with extremely low toxicity and smoke density Colorant Chromatics™ Cross-Linkable Formulations: high temperature resistance and superior cut-through resistance, abrasion resistance, and mechanical toughness GeonTM Flexible Vinyl Polymers: standard and custom formulations including non-phthalate, bio-based solutions, specialized colors, and chemistries for harsh environments

    Color concentrates and formulations developed specifically for healthcare applications in a range of polymers and based on ingredients that meet or exceed requirements for regulations such as USP Class VI, ISO10993   •    Specific formulations for pharmaceutical packaging or drug delivery based on ingredients tested to USP661.1, European Pharmacopeia 3.1, and ICHQ3D extractable metals   •    Functional additive concentrates and formulations with the same regulatory features as the colorant range to enhance polymer properties or help protect pharmaceutical products

ECCOH™ Non-Halogenated Formulations: Highly flame retardant with extremely low toxicity and smoke density  Syncure™ Cross-Linked Polyethylene Formulations: Two-step, silane-grafted, moisture cross-linkable polyethylene systems (XLPE) for improved heat, oil, creep and abrasion resistance Colorant Chromatics™ Cross-Linkable Formulations: Withstand high temperatures and offer superior cut-through resistance, abrasion resistance and mechanical toughness

The resulting custom-formulated grades of GLS™ Dynalloy™ OBC and Versaflex™ TPE allowed the manufacturer to switch to a two-shot molding process that eliminated the time-consuming and costly assembly operations needed for the old part. In addition, the custom grades were formulated to provide a number of other key attributes not found in the silicone rubber part, including: As a final benefit, the TPE formulations produced a regrind that resulted in new recycling options that were previously unavailable with the use of thermoset silicone rubber.

Engineered Polymer Formulations | Electrical + Electronics , LED Lighting A collaborative team from the two companies looked at potential options before developing a material that combined two grades of Avient’s Therma-Tech™ thermal management formulations.  Reduced material usage: The Therma-Tech formulation required 37 percent less material due to its lower density compared with aluminum.

Available in pre-colored formulations, they offer a sustainable drop-in replacement for fossil-based grades and can be processed and recycled in the same channels. Versaflex™ HC TPEs are compliant and easily colorable formulations for injection molding or overmolding uses. This family of TPEs includes the HC3810 series formulated without animal derivatives for use in a wide range of applications.

Avient Launches New Recycled-Content Thermoplastic Elastomers and Metallic Effect Pre-Colored Sulfone Formulations at Fakuma 2024, booth 5106 in Hall B5, from October 15–19 in Friedrichshafen, Germany New Colorant Chromatics™ Metallic Effect Pre-Colored Sulfone Formulations Launched by Avient at Fakuma 2024 PTFE-Free LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations: additional grades that extend Avient’s LubriOne™ Formulations portfolio and are made without fluorinated lubricants such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which may be classifiable as a per-and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS).
