COLOR POSSIBILITIES Vegetal pigments can give vivid color tones while minerals help achieve calmer and earthy hues.

ColorMatrix LCX dispersions are designed to minimize and eliminate screw slip, streaking and specking, all while generating cost-to-color savings through processing efficiencies that include: • Handling efficiency – bulk distribution, individual feed stations • Inventory reduction – less inventory and required floor space • Process efficiency – improved color change times KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly concentrated pigment dispersions specifically for EBM processing • Provides dimensional stability by utilizing more resin instead of fillers • Reduces costs through handling and processing efficiencies • Customization available for design and product handling • Can be formulated in combination with a wide selection of additive technologies to meet performance needs MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS ColorMatrix LCX Liquid Dispersions for EBM processing are well suited for the following: • Monolayer applications • LDR less than 3% • Large volume whites and blacks • Tints 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

Manufacturers save time and labor by eliminating the need for peel ply or other surface preparation such as grinding or abrading, while achieving superior adhesion compared to these typical processes.

Nonwoven fabrics used in surgery are often required to be water-repellent to act as a barrier and avoid contamination, while hydrophobicity for nonwovens used in filtration helps increase the service life of filters.
