COLOR
SUSTAINABILITY
Reducing carbon footprint in the way that a colorant is
formulated and processed has become an increasing
priority for plastics processors.
Manufacturers operating lean manufacturing
systems can also benefit by driving down inventory
requirements even further
• Avient’s advanced liquid systems can be run at lower
temperatures whilst maintaining stability allowing
important energy cost and carbon footprint savings to
be made

SERVICE PACKAGE
Avient is dedicated to supporting its customers with
a full package of support services to ensure optimum
value from our advanced colorant and additive
technologies.

Q11: Carbon Black and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) show up as carcinogenic hazards on some of our SDSs, and
not on others.
In other cases, PolyOne has been advised by the suppliers of certain raw materials (carbon black and
titanium dioxide are two prime examples) that the classification of their materials as IARC category 2B
carcinogens are based on certain studies involving rats, and due to a toxicological phenomenon known as
“rat lung overload,” carcinogenicity seen in such rats is not believed to be extended to humans.

content of materials contained in the polymer matrix
• Intrinsic/Relative Viscosity of Masterbatches and polymers
• Moisture content in the liquid colorants, MBs and polymers
• UV-Visible spectrometry: instrumental evaluation of the color
on yarn to perform quality control, color matchings and recipes
adjustments
• Yarn testing to evaluate mechanical properties, abrasion,
dry heat, rubbing and other characteristics
• Our pilot spinning lines have state-of-the-art take-up winders
that spin up to 4,500 meters/minute.
