COMPLEMENTARY SOLUTIONS SMART COLORANTS: MAKING THE MOST OF COLOR SOLID COLORANTS LIQUID COLORANTS Available based on many different carrier resins Clean, easy handling + feeding Designed + engineered for compatible polymer matrix More effective for low letdown ratios Highly accurate dispensing Can be processed at lower temperatures COLOR STRATEGY BEST PRACTICES EXPANDING COLORANT OPTIONS Avoid limiting yourself to either solid or liquid forms, and focus on the requirements of the end application instead • Widen your materials and applications possibilities • Achieve the desired effect for each part • Optimize productivity and system costs by matching the right colorant type to the project ADDING SPECIAL EFFECTS Further differentiate and add value to your products • Examples include: metallic, pearlescent, chrome look, edge glow, sparkle/glitter, neon/fluorescent look, woodgrain/stone/camouflage SELECTING + SIZING COLORANT EQUIPMENT Both liquid and solid colorants can be used in the same production facility • Use the right colorant to significantly impact production and offer improvements in terms of efficiency and quality

Monomers make up the majority of the variable cost of manufacturing the base resin. The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive. We believe these contracts should assure the availability of adequate amounts of PVC resin and VCM.

The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive. Vice President, Epoxy Specialties Resins of Hexion Inc. a global manufacturer of thermoset resins) from June 2013 to May 2015.

On May 30, 2013, we sold our vinyl dispersion, blending and suspension resin assets (Resin Business) to Mexichem Specialty Resins Inc. The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive. Vice President, Epoxy Specialties Resins of Hexion Inc.

Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes

Additionally, plastic prefilled syringes can be color-coded for easy identification and customized to meet specific opacities in polypropylene (PP) resin, while laser marking additives can help create precise, solvent-free markings. 

Discover Avient's portfolio of bio-based polyolefins, formulated with bio-based resin and/or filler from renewable sources such as olive seed powder and cellulose fiber. 

Avient’s portfolio of healthcare colorants includes standard and customized color solutions for a variety of polymers, from polyolefins, PC, PEBA, ABS, and styrenics to high temperature polysulfone resins.

Based in polysulfone resins, they provide ultra-high-heat resistance and performance without compromising safety while also responding to the needs of extended shelf life.

Complēt PKE formulations offer a reduced carbon footprint as a result of the base resin, helping to improve sustainability over the end product lifecycle.
