To further support customers, Avient offers a range of value-added services and is ready to collaborate on part design, material compatibility evaluations, laser welding process selection and more to drive success.

Adding the concentrate into PET resin delivers light diffusion in several applications.

After developing a deep understanding of the customer’s needs, Avient’s team quickly went to work formulating a custom OnCap™ Light Diffusion additive technology, then added a custom OnColor™ color to make a single Smartbatch™ masterbatch solution.

The colorants are provided as color concentrate pellets added to the yarn during spinning in the process known as spin-dyeing.

As an added benefit, Avient designed a universal carrier that enabled the manufacturer to use the same additives across a variety of olefins, elastomers, and other resins.

This tier-1 molder could now achieve a uniform, statistical distribution of active CFA content with an added degree of control that is unrivaled in the industry today.

It enables: • Increased rPET content • Reduced CO 2 emissions When added to PET preforms and bottles, ColorMatrix AAzure helps to: • Improve bottle quality - Reduced preform acetaldehyde by up to 80% - Improved mechanical strength - Lightweighting • Improve processability - Reduced bottle blowouts - Reduced scrap - Improved productivity • Reduce energy consumption during bottle blowing process ColorMatrix AAzure has a slight blue tint, which is useful for off-setting yellowing often associated with the use of rPET, and has minimal impact on final product color or aesthetics.
