Avient acquired the Clariant Color business on July 1, 2020 (the “Acquisition Date”). Design times can be less than three days for colorants. It’s in this spirit that we joined legacy PolyOne and the Clariant Color business, two complementary businesses, and formed a new one that we’ve named Avient.

This optimized combination of additive and color technology eliminated the “hot spots,” and achieved the sought-after bright white light, and streamlined the entire manufacturing process by enabling in-house production. The OEM was able to purchase virgin resin and add only the necessary amounts of color and diffusion additives required to achieve peak performance. Smartbatch solutions incorporate color, light diffusion technology and flame retardant into a single masterbatch.

Although PVC is one option, this manufacturer needed a colorable, drop-in replacement for PC/ABS. From there, the Avient team identified material options that offered high flame retardancy and finally, requirements for processing flexibility and colorability were applied. The results showed the Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient also used its custom color matching capabilities to provide pre-colored material that simplified molding, while the material’s wide processing window helped accommodate a variety of molding environments. * V0 @ 1.5 and 3.0mm FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) TENSILE STRENGTH RETENTION AFTER 7 DAYS EXPOSURE Both materials were tested according to ASTM D543 for 7 days.
