Made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyolefin as a carrier resin, Rejoin PCR Masterbatch can enable a bottle or part to be manufactured from 100 percent PCR.  Until now, masterbatch has generally been made using virgin material as a carrier resin. We understand that many consider the use of colorants and additives that rely on virgin resin carriers to nullify the claim of 100 percent PCR, so we worked to develop a solution that could help our customers deliver fully on their sustainability commitments,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient.

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants have received APR Meets Preferred Guidance for packaging applications using HDPE resin. With the recognition, OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants are preferred for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin in black and dark colors, according to the APR Design® Guide for Plastics Recyclability. In addition, testing is underway to support an application for MPG recognition for the same colorants for polypropylene resin (PP).

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP), or carbon fiber composites, are made by combining carbon fiber with a resin, such as vinyl ester or epoxy, to create a composite material that has higher performance properties than the individual materials alone. Carbon fiber filaments can be woven to form a fabric or take permanent shape as a composite material when combined with a resin. Due to the inherent corrosion resistance of thermoset resins, CFRP products do not rust or corrode and in turn have a longer product lifetime than typical metal materials. 

RejoinTM PCR Masterbatch uses PCR as a carrier resin, effectively allowing a bottle or part to be manufactured with 100% PCR. Simplify the process to develop color in recycled resin for L’Oréal to achieve global color consistency, while working towards their 2030 objective to have 100% of the plastics used in its packaging be made from recycled or bio-based material. Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Service helped L’Oréal simplify overall color development with recycled resin.

Made from polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) resin, Transcend Premier Healthcare Colorants, including pre-colored solutions, can withstand up to 1,000 autoclave cycles and high heat sterilization up to 150C. These resins also maintain dimensional stability while providing chemical resistance against the effects of harsh cleaning agents.   Additional iterations are in development for other high-performance resins, including polyethersulfone (PES) and polysulfone (PSU).  

Initially launched at the K Show in October 2022, Maxxam™ BIO bio-based polyolefins are formulated with both bio-based resin and/or filler from natural sources such as olive seed powder. They can be based on either prime or bio-based resin. Incorporating a bio-based resin with a natural filler further enhances sustainability and reduces product carbon footprint compared to fossil feedstock alternatives.
