EXTERIOR
Move over metal... our material
and colorant solutions enable
you to replace metal and paint
while improving miles per gallon
or per charge.
BODY & STRUCTURAL
We work directly with design
and engineering teams to
solve structural challenges
and create unique visual
effects and aesthetics.
We exist to help you solve
challenges, improve sustainability, and compete more
effectively.

Cesa™ Light Additives
for Injection Molded Applications
Sunlight in combination with heat and oxygen can
induce degradation in plastics, causing detrimental
effects on mechanical, optical, and other physical
properties.
Samples containing Cesa Light Additives
(CC01, CC02, CC03) showed limited Delta b (Db)
variations, while the non-UV stabilized sample
showed a high Db variation and visual yellowing.

ColorMatrix™ Optica™ Specialty Toners for PC is the
cutting-edge liquid toner for polycarbonate resins
that provides visual clarity for PC and improves
aesthetics on the product surface.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• More accurate dosage on a small-scale leading
to better color consistency
• Better color dispersion in transparent PC
resin compared to pigments, helping to retain
transparent properties
• Prevents contamination by keeping cleanliness
in production lines often found with powders
• Lower inventory, easier supply chain
management
• Better cost effectiveness with lower dosage
• Prevents undesirable yellowness/greenness in
PC chips
• Supports sustainability through improved color
and material changeover time
• Liquid solution reduces dosage compared to
alternatives

TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS
Select Rapid Color Prototyping Technology
includes:
Select Color Cell
• Color scanning or matching
• Creation of color plaques
Online Software
• Formulation and price generator
• Web-based processor
Automated Dispenser
• Globally standard base colors
• Consistent production from recipes
HOW IT WORKS
Select allows you to:
• Instantaneously create a new color using
your own standards, spectrophotometer or
colorimeter data, or the software’s
built-in design tools
• Produce small quantities of color masterbatch
for use in validating your color match
• Combine advanced liquid colorants,
cloud-access software and automated
dispensing technology
• Carry out color modeling and rapid iteration
Select also helps you:
• Choose the right color by providing a quick
and cost effective way to model, sample, and
test color options
• Facilitate prototyping and variation testing
PRODUCT BULLETIN
CONVENTIONAL COLOR
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Multiple rounds of sampling, trials and
approvals, usually over many weeks.
Typically used
within extrusion, injection molding and blow molding
processes with specific benefits for:
• Manufacturers – Take control of your color supply
• Brand Owners – Efficient online color management
• Designers – Rapid visualization of your color

These antistatic concentrates can be used to increase
the visual appeal of a medical device by avoiding
charge-related dust accumulation.
Avient offers two types of Mevopur antistatic
solutions: a non-migrating solution, that uses a
fibril network to offer an immediate and constant
effect; and a migrating solution, which offers
antistatic properties through the attraction of water
molecules on the surface to lower surface tension.

1) Aesthetics
Visual choices of parts are typically tailored to the type of raw material used to formulate the final product.
Here are thoughts to consider when evaluating the visual opportunities of recycled raw materials:
Depending on the application or industry, products can require more attention to their visual appearance to meet customer needs.
