This requires the addition of a specific additive to the masterbatch prior to the meltblown stage, followed by a process known as hydro electret charging. Charging only works when the correct masterbatch is utilized which, together with the fiber denier, gram weight and number of layers, ensures that the middle layer of protective masks can effectively trap smaller particles.

Polyone and Clariant Masterbatch combined in 2020 to form Avient.

After developing a deep understanding of the customer’s needs, Avient’s team quickly went to work to formulate a custom OnColor™ color and then added Cesa™ WithStand™ antimicrobial technology to make a single Smartbatch™ masterbatch that passed all of the product’s challenging requirements. THE IMPACT • FLEXIBILITY through wide range of color options • PROTECTION of product through antimicrobial technology • SPEED to MARKET through supplier expertise • COST REDUCTION through simplified processing • CONSISTENT performance through all-inclusive, one step masterbatch Each Smartbatch solution is custom formulated to incorporate color, antimicrobial technology and UV stability in one material, simplifying them manufacturing process and delivering consistent performance © 2022, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 ANTIMICROBIAL TECHNOLOGY, CUSTOM COLORS AND PERFORMANCE ADDITIVES IN ONE MASTERBATCH.
