With the new PCR Colour Prediction Service from Avient, manufacturers using recyclates can now check in advance what colours can be achieved based on the amount of PCR used. For the first time, it is also possible to calculate how much PCR content can be added to an application without affecting its characteristic colour.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

With its PCR Colour Prediction Service for polyolefins and PET resins and its new Cesa Nox A4R additives, the Cleveland\/Ohio-based company aims to improve the Use of recycled plastics in packaging applications<\/strong> facilitate.<\/p>

\"Avient<\/a> aims to improve opportunities to expand the use of recycled polymers and remove barriers that arise either during the recycling process itself or when incorporating PCR content into existing or new applications. Our Cesa Nox A4R additives for recycling, together with the PCR Colour Prediction Service, help to overcome these obstacles. These are two new ways Avient is contributing to the circular economy and helping its customers achieve their sustainability goals.\u201c<\/p>

The PCR Colour Prediction Service helps brand owners to understand, which colours can be achieved based on the amount of PCR used<\/strong>. By using a special technology, colour matching can be used to determine whether the colours can be used in a new application containing PCR content.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>

As the first solution of its kind for the plastics industry, this internally developed solution also calculates how much PCR content can be added to an existing application, without affecting their characteristic colour<\/strong>.<\/p>

With the help of proprietary software, the experts at Avient<\/a> the plastic properties in order to determine the colour scale that can be reproduced with a specific PCR-based material. The service is intended to simplify the selection of colours for polymers with PCR content<\/strong> and speed up the process and avoid time-consuming trial and error. The service also offers greater flexibility when it may be necessary to switch from one PCR source to another. This is particularly important given today's fluctuations in supply.<\/p>

The new Cesa Nox A4R additives for recycling are based on a special Formulation that protects post-consumer polyolefins from oxidation and thus from defects such as black spots or discolouration.<\/strong> The antioxidant can be added to the PCR material at an early stage in the recycling process or incorporated into the new resin.<\/p>
