Whether in solid or liquid form, our fiber
concentrates are developed for use in the more
sustainable process of spin-dyeing, or dope-dyeing,
which requires no water and less energy than other
dyeing methods.
Lower-concentration solutions can be
developed to meet specific customer needs.
Product range
• Flame retardants to reduce flammability of
fibers and fabrics especially in building and
construction applications
• Light stabilizers to protect fibers used outdoors
or exposed to sunlight against UV light
• Antimicrobials to protect hygienic fiber products
from bacteria proliferation
• Antistatics to reduce electrostatic charges
• Antioxidants to reduce polymer oxidation during
spinning and protect fabrics during service life
• Optical brighteners to provide a brilliant white
effect and blueish hue
• Electrets to retain electrostatic charge on the
polymer surface for a longer period of time in
filtration applications
• Hydrophobics to impart durable water repellency
• Chain extenders for recycled polyester fibers
• Others on request
Product characteristics
• Good spinnability
• Fiber-specific QC and protocols
• Lot-to-lot consistency
• Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PP, and others
• Possibility to combine colors and additives into
a combination concentrate for convenience
• Product guidance from our fiber expert team
• Focus on safe and sustainable formulations
Applications
• Continuous filaments (POY, FDY, HOY, BCF)
• Long and short spinning staple fiber
• Nonwoven processes (spunbond and meltblown)

Colorants & Additives
Multiple color production
• Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several
injection points can be added to enable multiple
color production at the same time on a single
extruder
Batch size flexibility
• Fiber producers can manufacture anything from
a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the
same simple process
Rapid color changes
• No extruder contamination and easy color-on,
color-off operation increases color change speed
Waste reduction
• Rapid color changes, precise metering and
the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste
during color changeovers
Continuous metering & long spin pack life
• High pigment and dye concentrations mean
fewer pack changes are required
• Where color is running low for larger volume
runs, low level metering sensors alert operators
and packs can be changed without disrupting
production
In-line IV adjustment
• Specialist additives are available to adjust
Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET
applications
• These additives are available as single products,
or can be combined with color to create a multi-
functional formulation
Color design service
• Avient offers a dedicated color design service to
help shorten product development cycles and
enhance market agility
Liquid color processing
• Formulations are stable at temperatures up
to 60°C and retain good flow properties at
temperatures as low as 10°C
• These formulations can help lower yarn friction
and abrasion, and there is no fuming
or evaporation during production
Avient’s liquid fiber colorant technology combines advanced liquid color
formulations with state-of-the-art, high-pressure metering equipment to
enable late-stage injection of liquid color for spun-dyed polymer melt.
