Available in both liquid and solid formulations,
Impress helps to create packaging with
a brilliant glossy, metallic surface in unlimited
color options.
Avient will engage with customers to
determine whether a liquid or solid masterbatch
would be optimal for their applications.
With other metallic effect additives, these
lines can appear on the surface of a polymer part
where molten plastic flow fronts meet during
processing.
