Impact OnColor™ Impress™ High Gloss Metallic Effect Colorants

As you read through our 2023 Sustainability Report, you will see a large number of contributions and highlights of our impact. I am inspired to be leading Avient’s talented team of 9,300 employees, upholding high standards of environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical governance.

Colorants can meet brand standards, UV packages can offer additional protection for applications with high UV exposure, lubricants can minimize wear and tear, flame retardants can provide flame, smoke, and/or toxicity compliance, and additional durability can ensure your products perform in extreme climates (hot or cold). Maintain robust impact performance in cold environments

Consumers respond to eye-catching designs and functionality, so as a designer or manufacturer, you strive to hit a cool-yet-high-tech vibe with your products. Overmolding these materials on the outside of your device can add impact protection, abrasion resistance, and UV resistance properties depending on the intended use environment of the speaker.

You want to maintain the high quality of your products while also reducing the cost of making them. Radiation Shielding Without Lead Reduces Costs, Environmental Impact

High strength, unidirectional fibers and engineered thermoplastic resins combine to create Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) tapes and laminates that can help reduce weight while maintaining exceptional strength and impact resistance in a variety of applications.

OnColor™ Impress™ High Gloss Metallic Effect Colorants Color concentrates add a unique look and sheen to polymer packaging OnColor™ Impress™ High Gloss Metallic Effect Colorants create a high gloss, metal effect look with no flow lines for polymer packaging, in a limitless range of vibrant colors. They want their products to win share in high-volume consumer markets by standing out at point-of-sale. The additive creates tiny bubbles inside the semi-crystalline resins which, when stretched during blow molding, reflect light and shine for a high gloss, metallic appearance.

Although polyketone is a relatively new class of polymer, it is growing in popularity as application engineers seek high-performing alternatives to nylons and POM amid supply constraints and sustainability goals. Polyketone is considered “eco-conscious” due to the reduced environmental impact of this base resin during the production process compared to PA6, PA66, and POM. A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.
