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. While the Smartbatch solution was developed specifically for the LED luminaire project, it was so effective that the customer has plans to incorporate this technology into the next wave of products currently under development.
