They can be used to accelerate the development of healthcare products and help reduce the risk of non-compliance. Our latest developments include pre-colored polymer solutions for well plates used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, a growing field leveraging molecular biology to provide a swift diagnosis of various infectious diseases. Specially developed for polystyrene and polypropylene PCR plates, these white and black formulations help maintain optimized signal transmission and minimize crosstalk that could lead to faulty results in quantitative fluorescence testing.

Cesa™ Nox A4R Additive for Enhanced Recycling: developed to stabilize recycled polyolefins and protect them from degradation during processing, enabling the incorporation of increased recycled content into packaging films, maintaining high-quality levels of PCR, and helping promote a more circular economy ColorForward™: an annual color forecasting guide for the plastics industry developed to help brand owners and manufacturers make informed color decisions for new products and packaging At Avient, our colorants and additives are developed to address material challenges at every stage of the development process, said Esperanza Laserna, General Sales Manager, LATAM Color, Additives, and Inks, at Avient.

We can work in close collaboration with these innovators by tapping into InVisiO services and resources throughout the design development process to rapidly help make their vision a reality.” Colors in this palette are developed to connect with both traditional and urbane styles, translating moments through color and texture. New Frontier, developed in collaboration with ECKART Effect Pigments (a division of ALTANA), this palette evokes a deep connection to travel in space.

From research and development to commercial platforms, we provide solutions for a host of catheter applications, including cardiovascular, intravenous, neurological and specialty segments. With our balance of material science expertise and technical application development, Avient can provide you with the specified formulation you need in a competitive lead time. For applications requiring ultra-soft thermoplastic urethanes (TPUs), such as catheter tips and bodies, we developed the NEUSoft™ TPU series.

Effective solutions exist to keep your packaging clear, and recent developments make it easier than ever to do so. Anti-fog solutions developed for different film packaging systems If you decide to use additives, taking a collaborative approach with your supplier can help you to speed development times and raise efficiency.
