With a FlexCart system, it is possible to achieve continuous, consistent and accurate dosing—even at very low addition rates. TECHNICAL ANALYSES • DSC: Thermal analyses to characterize polymers, additives and colorants • TGA: Thermogravimetric analysis to evaluate thermal stability, plus inorganic pigment, and carbon black content in the Masterbatch • FT-IR: Infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of raw materials • Incineration oven to determine inorganic content • Melt Flow Tester to measure the Melt Flow Rate of MBs and Polymers • Filter test to measure the dispersion quality and aggregate content of materials contained in the polymer matrix • Intrinsic/Relative Viscosity of Masterbatches and polymers • Moisture content in the liquid colorants, MBs and polymers • UV-Visible spectrometry: instrumental evaluation of the color on yarn to perform quality control, color matchings and recipes adjustments • Yarn testing to evaluate mechanical properties, abrasion, dry heat, rubbing and other characteristics • Our pilot spinning lines have state-of-the-art take-up winders that spin up to 4,500 meters/minute.

In addition, laboratory tests indicate that these additives produce anti- fog properties at a slightly faster rate than other additive solutions. The appearance of the film was observed after one hour and then after four hours, and visibility through the film is given a rating from A (zero visibility due to fogging of the inside surface of the film) to E (completely transparent).

Slower fill rates may be required if surface flow defects occur.

Avient’s development team went back to work and quickly developed a flame-retardant grade that meets UL requirements for a V0 rating.

Use processing additives to maintain dimensional stability, reduce warpage and sink, or improve scrap rate.

The low usage rate, low minimum order quantities, and pelletized form for easy handling and storage make these concentrates a versatile and cost-effective choice.
