Using a specific masterbatch enables proper charging. Together with the fiber denier, gram weight, and number of layers, this masterbatch ensures the middle layer of the filter can effectively trap smaller particles.

This allows our customers the choice of a masterbatch concentrate or pre-colored material that best fits their production process, yet still offers the benefits of our ‘Controlled, Consistent, Compliant’ customized solutions.”  NOTE: On July 1, 2020, PolyOne and Clariant Masterbatches joined together as Avient, a new kind of materials company focused on conquering customer challenges and unlocking the potential for innovation and sustainability around the globe.

CLEVELAND – October 31, 2017 – PolyOne today launched OnColor™ Brilliant Metallic Colorants, a striking new line of special effect masterbatches that finally meet the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish. Our customers across multiple industries have been looking for a paint-free solution with no tradeoffs, which drove us to develop this new masterbatch.

PolyOne fiber colorant and additive solutions now span five brands, including solid masterbatch options for traditional and melt spun fiber from recent acquisitions Magenta Master Fibers and IQAP. Gary Fielding, vice president of PolyOne’s Color & Additive business in Europe, commented, “Our full fiber offering consists of an unparalleled range of exceptional solid masterbatches and specialty liquid concentrates, as well as regional manufacturing and technical expertise.

This masterbatch helps manufacturers to efficiently injection mold attractive parts that appear to be covered with textile. This masterbatch also helps manufacturers transition from a complex polymers-and-textile process to more efficient, single-step molding.”
