Our extensive line of color and additive masterbatch products and services match colors exactly across many different plastic materials, while preventing material degradation due to heat, cold, hydrocarbon exposure and mechanical abuse Long fiber reinforced plastics Explore three key opportunities for metal-to-plastic conversion

Choosing the best solution for your material, process, and end use application means evaluating different technologies against your particular requirements and goals, and then avoiding common pitfalls. Practical guidance on optimizing the processing efficiency and quality of colored plastic materials

Discover how our ColorWorks Design and Technology Centers can provide inspiration and help accelerate the development process of impactful color, material, and finishes solutions for your plastics products. Avient’s New Aesthetix initiative combines polymer science and unconventional ways to look at processing and formulation to deliver innovative aesthetic solutions to plastic materials. Discover our annual forecast of trends and color concepts for future plastic products.

This formulation is created for high-pressure injection molding and is integrated directly into plastic materials. Importantly, this solution is manufactured without intentionally added fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers, or any other pre- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), supporting customer's sustainability goals and regulatory compliance by offering an alternative to intentionally added PFAS materials.

In this case, the newest amber masterbatches comply not only with the current USP 661 standard, which governs plastic materials used in pharmaceutical packaging, but they have also been tested for compliance to USP regulations that won’t become effective until December 2025.     Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses Avient employs approximately 8,400 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care®, a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste and certified Great Place to Work®.  

Colorant Chromatics™ Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive for high-temperature polymers integrates directly into plastic materials and migrates to the surface during molding to facilitate a smooth demolding experience. This process can help reduce cycle times and boost productivity by reducing demolding times and protecting the mold and the manufactured plastic parts while utilizing an alternative to PFAS-based additives. Limiting Damage: By acting as a lubricant, Evoluscend™ additive can help limit mold damage, supporting the longevity and quality of the mold and the plastic products

The higher toughness of long fiber composites makes them among the most durable of injection molding plastic materials with structural characteristics. As a general rule, load forces for plastic articles should be no more than half of the material’s maximum load capability to prevent creep from occurring. Plastics also require fewer finishing operations than other materials and their increased design freedom can reduce component count eliminating assembly steps.  

Product safety and regulatory compliance are key for applications using plastic materials where flammability is a consideration.   Our polymer additives for flame retardance are used in a broad range of applications, including building materials, electrical and electronic components, automotive parts, and much more.
