Substance Safety Summary
SUBSTANCE: Titanium Dioxide
GENERAL STATEMENT
Titanium dioxide pigment (chemical formula: TiO2) is an inorganic white pigment found in an array of end uses.
TiO2 is a naturally occurring mineral used as a bright white pigment for paint, in the food industry as a coloring,
in sunscreens and cosmetics, and in other industrial uses.
After processing, it is exists as white, powdery solid.

SOFT BASE INK
Zodiac Aquarius™ soft base inks are
designed for printing on white or
light-colored garments without
affecting the fabric hand feel.
The high solids ink range
consists of high opacity white and a
soft, flexible base to produce highly
opaque, soft hand prints.
DISCHARGE INK
The Zodiac Aquarius™ range of
bright discharge inks allow
printers to achieve bright whites
and colors.

Black & White
STANDARD AND CUSTOM
BLACK CONCENTRATES
• High pigment concentrations for high tinting
strength
• Lower concentrations to meet specific
customer needs
• Tailored for special requirements, with specific
physical/rheological properties
STANDARD AND CUSTOM WHITE
CONCENTRATES
• TiO2 based with excellent opacifying or tinting
strength
• Optical white to improve the surface whiteness
and/or brighteness of end articles
• Regulatory compliance support
• Optimal melt flow properties allow a good
mixture with the polymer matrix yielding
the best possible spinnability
• Full pigment dispersion ensures maximum
CPF/Spinning pack life
• Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PA 66, PP, and others
• Continuous filament spinning, including
fine denier (POY, FDY, HOY, bi-component yarns)
• Long and short spinning staple fiber
• Spunbond
SINGLE PIGMENT DISPERSIONS (SPDS)
We have extensive experience in using advanced
technologies and special raw materials, which make
our SPDs suitable for more demanding applications.
Product range
• Flame retardants to reduce flammability of
fibers and fabrics especially in building and
construction applications
• Light stabilizers to protect fibers used outdoors
or exposed to sunlight against UV light
• Antimicrobials to protect hygienic fiber products
from bacteria proliferation
• Antistatics to reduce electrostatic charges
• Antioxidants to reduce polymer oxidation during
spinning and protect fabrics during service life
• Optical brighteners to provide a brilliant white
effect and blueish hue
• Electrets to retain electrostatic charge on the
polymer surface for a longer period of time in
filtration applications
• Hydrophobics to impart durable water repellency
• Chain extenders for recycled polyester fibers
• Others on request
Product characteristics

Colorants & Additives
Multiple color production
• Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several
injection points can be added to enable multiple
color production at the same time on a single
extruder
Batch size flexibility
• Fiber producers can manufacture anything from
a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the
same simple process
Rapid color changes
• No extruder contamination and easy color-on,
color-off operation increases color change speed
Waste reduction
• Rapid color changes, precise metering and
the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste
during color changeovers
Continuous metering & long spin pack life
• High pigment and dye concentrations mean
fewer pack changes are required
• Where color is running low for larger volume
runs, low level metering sensors alert operators
and packs can be changed without disrupting
production
In-line IV adjustment
• Specialist additives are available to adjust
Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET
applications
• These additives are available as single products,
or can be combined with color to create a multi-
functional formulation
Color design service
• Avient offers a dedicated color design service to
help shorten product development cycles and
enhance market agility
Liquid color processing
• Formulations are stable at temperatures up
to 60°C and retain good flow properties at
temperatures as low as 10°C
• These formulations can help lower yarn friction
and abrasion, and there is no fuming
or evaporation during production
Avient’s liquid fiber colorant technology combines advanced liquid color
formulations with state-of-the-art, high-pressure metering equipment to
enable late-stage injection of liquid color for spun-dyed polymer melt.
