CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: This is required
to allow medical and dental equipment
to be disinfected, and to improve the
durability of components used in the
chemical processing industries.
RADIATION RESISTANCE: This property
is needed for some medical sterilization
techniques and also for components
used in nuclear power plants.

ColorMatrix™ Fiber Colorant Solutions feature a breakthrough liquid melt extrusion spin coloring technology for polyester fiber.
Liquid melt-extrusion color permits late-stage color injection, reducing waste and changeover times in the manufacturing process, and offering producers the flexibility to create as little as 50kg of fiber within the same simple process.

Co-extrusion protective film can also help producers achieve their sustainability goals,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient.
Compared to current solvent-based coating technology, co-extrusion film has significantly reduced volatile organic compound emissions (VOCs) and helps reduce energy consumption and emissions by eliminating secondary coating and drying operations.

However, for synthetic fibers manufactured by an extrusion process, such as polyester, polyamide, and polypropylene, there is another technology that uses no water and less energy than classic bath-dyeing: spin-dyeing.
The colorant is in the form of concentrate pellets added to the polymer pellets during the extrusion and melting process.
