In line with the continuing drive towards greater sustainability and circularity in the industry, we will demonstrate our latest advances in materials science at Chinaplas, from specialty colorants and color prediction to bio-based thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and engineered materials,” says Say-Eng Lee, Vice President and General Manager, Color & Additives Asia for Avient. Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified PP-Based Formulations: new, high-impact metallization grades developed to replace die-cast or machined metals while delivering the look and weighted feel of metal in premium brand applications. A TechTalk Presentation on April 17 from 15:00 to 15:20 hours at Stand R31 in Hall 16 on sustainable bio-based materials, including zero-carbon emission TPEs, low-warpage and low-water absorption nylons, ‘OK-compost’ certified biopolymer solutions and successful case studies

TPE Knowledge Base The most commonly GLS recommended color concentrates are based on polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). To make dispersion easier, the color concentrate should have slightly lower viscosity (higher MFI) than the base TPE.
