Moreover, coloring processes for dark recycled material can be challenging due to the need for high amounts of colorant to overcome the PCR base color.  The study also demonstrated that using Borcycle M grades along with Avient’s OnColor™ near-infrared (NIR) detectable colorants can produce a recyclable, neutral black which enables better automatic sorting for recycling. This solution helps to prevent downcycling of darker and black PCRs based on their color and maintains their value in the recycling stream. 

Hydrocerol improved productivity up to 20% due to lower cycle times and processability on different injection molding units. Using Hydrocerol with core-back molding technology, a process in which the mold is opened slightly to further reduce pressure and allow the foam core to expand, Avient helped the customer leverage density reduction to lower finished part weight.

Antimicrobial additives work to resist, inhibit and prevent the growth of microbes including bacteria and mold. Because the toothbrushes were molded in both clear and opaque resins, the team had to explore two different avenues—one that preserved clarity and one that retained opacity. Coupled with their ability to be used across a variety of different resins, These antimicrobial additives provided significant value while protecting against microbial degradation, mold and mildew.
