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).   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).

THERMOPLASTIC The matrix material of a composite can be a thermoset or a thermoplastic THERMOSET THERMOPLASTIC A thermoset is a cross-linked polymer that cannot be reshaped after it’s formed, cured, and cooled. Advantages High temperature resistance, creep resistance, low viscosity, paintability, and fatigue resistance A thermoplastic is not cross-linked so it can be re-melted and reformed.

Colorant Chromatics™ Cross-Linked Formulations

To highlight and show the longer fiber length entanglement and orientation in a geometry we have molded the same bicycle link (center) in both a long fiber reinforced solution and a short fiber reinforced solution.  

Like other Syncure materials, the DBDPE-free formulations combine a polyethylene graft resin and flame-retardant catalyst to create a cross-linked solution for cable systems.
