The new fiber colorant technology combines ColorMatrix liquid concentrates and proprietary high-pressure metering equipment to enable late-stage color injection during melt extrusion spin coloring.

Manufacturers of catheters can benefit through increased production efficiency by eliminating a need for co-extrusion, which is typically required to manufacture striped catheters, as well as reducing material usage and complexity.

Cesa WithStand SX additives can be used in various processes, including extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and thermoforming.

Additionally, as part of the TCC conference program, Jonathan Spiegel, Senior Engineer of Advanced Composites at Avient, will co-present with Benjamin Willis, Director of Product Development at Re:Build Manufacturing, on the Manufacture of Sandwich Structure of Recycled HDPE and Continuous Glass Reinforced HDPE Composite using Extrusion-Compression Molding. 

As a complement to PolyOne’s liquid Excelite CFA portfolio for extrusion, new Excelite IM CFAs are engineered for a wide range of injection molded polymers, including olefins, PVC, polystyrene, PC/ABS, and high-heat materials.

Rather than requiring a secondary process and equipment to coat the agricultural film, OnCap anti-fog concentrates are easy to handle and can be added at a film extrusion machine with no extra equipment required.

Compatible with extrusion and injection molding processes for both EBM and ISBM

Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Additives delivered a high quality product with no clumping during the extrusion process

Reusable concentrates significantly reduce time spent cleaning extrusion and injection molding equipment.
