Color & Additive
Formulations for
Biodegradable Resins
& Blends
Using a selected list of pigments and additives,
Avient color experts know how to enhance
biodegradable starch blends or PLA without
affecting degradability of the resins.
Our current portfolio of pre-tested pigments offers:
• A wide range of color masterbatch options
• From opaque to transparent—depending on
the blend or resin
It is important to note that the final colors will
depend on the percentage of use, the resin,
the thickness, and the opacity.
Starch blend
resins often vary from white to brown and this
can influence the final color rendering in the
application.

Avient Thermoplastic Tapes
Engineered or unidirectional fibers are combined
with thermoplastic resins to create continuous
fiber-reinforced composite materials that provide
superior strength-to-weight ratio and high
performance for reinforcement across a broad
range of applications.
POLYSTRAND™
THERMOPLASTIC TAPES
STRONG, IMPACT RESISTANT,
LIGHTWEIGHT
Formulated with glass fiber reinforcement and
engineered thermoplastic resins, these continuous
fiber composites offer reduced weight while
maintaining exceptional strength and impact
resistance.
FIBER-LINE™
THERMOPLASTIC TAPES
STRONG, CREEP RESISTANT,
CHEMICAL RESISTANT
Fiber-Line Specialty Engineered Thermoplastic
Tapes are formulations composed of a wide range
of fibers that are uniquely engineered to enhance
fiber performance—such as twisting and coating—
and then custom manufactured into a composite
tape with a thermoplastic resin.

Colorant Chromatics™ PEI Masterbatch
Colors for High-Temperature Injection Molding Applications
Colorant Chromatics™ PEI colorants are specifically
designed to color polyetherimide (PEI) resin used in
high-temperature injection molding applications.
Since PEI resin offers excellent resistance to
heat and fire, and has very good dimensional
stability, it is ideal for a variety of applications
in industries such as aerospace, automotive,
telecommunications and healthcare.
Colorant
Chromatics PEI colorants are designed specifically
for use in these resins to help boost color
consistency and streamline product development
for increased speed to market.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-09/Colorant Chromatics Brochure_2024.pdf
Colorant Chromatics color concentrates and pre-colored
solutions are based on resins from the world’s leading suppliers.
Because of the thermal
similarities of the resins they can also be used on
PFA substrates.
They feature a synthetic resin binder to
hold the pigment in place after sintering.
