SHANGHAI – April 23, 2024 – Avient Corporation, a premier provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services, will showcase its broad portfolio of advanced technologies for the plastics industry, including two new product launches, at Chinaplas 2024 today through April 26th at the National Exhibition and Convention Center of Shanghai. These technologies can help designers, brand owners, and manufacturers improve the performance and aesthetics of their applications while also supporting their sustainability goals.
Avient will exhibit newly launched OnColor™ Durable Orange Nylon Colorants for high-voltage electric vehicle (EV) connectors. These new orange colorants, developed as part of Avient’s OnColor portfolio, can help improve the heat and long-term color stability of cautionary, orange-colored polymers in both engineering and general-purpose plastics with no or limited adverse effects on mechanical properties or flame retardancy and can also be customized for laser marking (link to full press release here).
Avient also will be exhibiting the expanded launch of PTFE-Free LubriOne™ Internally Lubricated Formulations to Asia. Initially launched in Europe in 2023, these grades extend Avient’s LubriOne™ Formulations portfolio and are made without fluorinated lubricants such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). They are available across multiple polymer systems, including PA6, PA66, PC, POM, PBT, PPS, and PK, and provide comparable performance to conventional internally lubricated grades (link to full press release here).
“The plastics industry is evolving rapidly to address the need for sustainable and circular solutions that improve recycling, product functionality, and manufacturability. This is driven by major global sustainability initiatives,” said Say-Eng Lee, Vice President and General Manager, Color & Additives Asia at Avient. “At Chinaplas, we will demonstrate our expertise to meet these trends and complex challenges, including our annual color forecasting guide and customized colorants and additives, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and specialty engineered materials for uses in a wide range of industries.”
