Versaflex™ HC TPE is formulated to produce low coring levels in resealing applications. This formulation meets the requirements of the ISO 15759 standard for medical infusion equipment, and can be steam autoclaved using temperatures up to 121°C. Purity and cleanliness are crucial for polymers used in healthcare applications, and this formulation enhances purity not only because it offers low coring levels, but because it is made without cross-linking agents that can potentially leach into the container and interact with the sensitive pharmaceutical product.

Vinyl Formulations | Sustainability Among them are CORE™ Bio-based Plastisols formulated with at least 25% bio content derived from renewable natural resources. Bio-derived dispersions of PVC resins, they are suitable for multiple manufacturing processes and can be custom-formulated to specific requirements.

Brand owners who collaborate with PolyOne are taking advantage of Gravi-Tech™ Density Modified Formulations, metallic-effect GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and InVisiOSM Color and Design Services. For example, Gravi-Tech formulations impart weight, sound and a metallic finish to caps and closures for both cosmetics and spirits applications, while removing the secondary operations and constraints that traditional metals require.

These new formulations utilize between 40 and 50 percent bio-renewable content derived from sugarcane, and offer hardness levels and performance comparable to standard TPEs. All grades are formulated for durability, delivering property retention and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs. The company adds value to global customers and improves sustainability through formulating materials, such as:

PolyOne’s expansive portfolio includes: •    ECCOH™ non-halogenated formulations featuring flame retardance with extremely low toxicity and smoke density     Colorant Chromatics™ cross-linkable high-temperature fluoropolymer formulations for improved cut-through resistance, abrasion resistance and mechanical toughness     Additional formulations for vinyl, color concentrates, cross-linkable PVdF, and FEP/PVdF chemical foaming additives.

CLEVELAND – 2021年4月19日 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions and services, today announced the launch of a new pelletized amber colorant masterbatch formulated for PET vials, bottles, and other pharmaceutical packaging applications. They are formulated without animal-derived substances and phthalates, and have been pre-tested for compliance with: •    ISO 10993-1 and USP parts , (including class VI) •    European Pharmacopoeia, monograph 3.1.15 •    USP and •    elemental analysis, as per ICH Q3D As a result, these MEVOPUR masterbatches will ‘future-proof’ pharma packaging and avoid the need for formulation changes in the years to come.” 

However, compliance does not depend solely on the right polymer formulation, but also on the design of the finished article. Avient’s expertise lies not only in formulation development but also in helping customers optimize their product design and increase the likelihood that the end product will be compliant. It is also formulated without bisphenol-A (BPA) or phthalates and is highly colorable to meet specific marketplace requirements.

With our formulation expertise, we can help customers to optimize their manufacturing processes, increase consumer appeal, and meet increasingly strict regulations regarding carbon dioxide emissions and fuel efficiency,” said Kendall Justiniano, PolyOne director of global automotive marketing. Vibration and noise control: By replacing traditional rubber and other thermosets, GLS™ TPE formulations tackle noise and vibration issues on exterior mirrors and other parts, while providing functional sealing, greater design freedom, and part consolidation through overmolding. Efficient slush molding: Recently introduced low-temperature Geon™ VBX vinyl powder formulations for automotive interior surfaces and instrument panels meet OEM low temperature requirements and can provide production efficiency improvements of 15% or more.
