THE JOURNEY AWAITS Polymer Solutions for Adventure Sports Gear For outdoor enthusiasts, the lighter the gear, the better. Add resilience and lasting beauty to your products with various polymer additives and color formulations from Avient. Bring beauty to the outdoor experience with products that pop: • Add vibrancy or brand recognition with custom polymer colorants • Keep your product’s colors brilliant with UV-stable additives • Reduce cycle times and production costs by eliminating secondary painting requirements with molded-in color and advanced polymer formulations from Avient Your outdoor products need to stand the test of time and resist damage from exposure to environmental elements.

Melting Point: Melting point is the temperature at which a crystalline polymer becomes a disordered liquid. 4. Important to note, semi-crystalline polymers feature crystalline regions dispersed within amorphous material. For amorphous polymers like PSU, the cooling rate in FFF is critical.

COLORANT CHROMATICS Colors and compounds for high-temperature polymers ™ We are the world’s leading specialist in the enhancement of high-performance polymers. Laser marking additives are added to polymers, such as fluoropolymers, that do not readily absorb the wavelength of laser light. Foamed polymers provide enhanced electrical properties, reduced cable weight, and material cost savings.

Plastic materials offer opportunities and play an increasingly vital role: colors aid identification and automated laboratory processes while functional additives expand the usable property window of the polymer in areas such as surface chemistry or oxygen protection.
