SAO PAULO, Brazil – March 16, 2023 – Today, Avient Corporation announced it will feature its portfolio of sustainable polymer colorants and additives at Plástico Brasil, the industry’s largest plastic production exhibition in Latin America, taking place this week. 

Avient’s Color and Additives team will exhibit solutions such as ColorMatrix™ SmartHeat™ dispersion process aids for improving polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycling, Rejoin™ colorants formulated to enable 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging, and Hydrocerol™ chemical foaming agents for reducing part weights.  

In addition to these sustainable colorants and additives, attendees can also explore Avient’s PCR Color Prediction Tool, a service that digitally illustrates the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR before sample development. This can help brand owners and technical colorists simplify the process of transitioning to higher levels of PCR content, shorten the time-to-launch of new product ranges, and create global color consistency.

“We’re continually supporting brand owners and designers to re-imagine their sustainability goals,” said Alessandra Neves, senior marketing and sustainability manager at Avient. “Our innovative portfolio of colorants, additives, and services combine to form the ideal environment for sustainable solutions to thrive and support Avient’s 2030 sustainability goals.”  

Avient is exhibiting at Plástico Brasil at booth A080 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, from March 27-31, 2023. Experts will be on-site to provide technical support and assistance throughout the show.
