Polyketone is naturally a burnt orange color and is known to be more challenging to color. Scratch and mar performance is average but not as good as some engineered nylon 6 or 66 resins. These can be colored at the press or with pre-color.

Colorant Chromatics™ PSU, PES and PPSU Masterbatches Colors for High-Temperature Applications Colorant Chromatics™ PSU/PES/PPSU colorants are designed to color polysulfone (PSU), polyethersulfone (PES), and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) resins used in high-temperature injection molding and extrusion applications. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Consistent coloring and improved homogenization with the polymer for more efficient processing and waste reduction • Opaque PSU/PES/PPSU masterbatches available with shorter lead times in a range of readily available standard colors • Minimum order quantities as low as 5kg (10lbs) for improved inventory control • Robust colorant formulations mean zero disruption to existing molding processes, allowing manufacturers to bring products to market faster and without investing in new machinery PRODUCT BULLETIN 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Product Code Color LDR* Pantone No.** 650.00 Black 10% 433C 650.01 Brown 10% 7615C 650.02 Red 10% 186C 650.03 Orange 5% 1495C 650.04 Yellow 10% 142C 650.05 Green 10% 2248C 650.06 Blue 10% 278C 650.07 Violet 20% 2073C 650.08 Grey 10% Cool Gray 7C 650.09 White 10% RAL9010 PPSU RESINS Product Code Color LDR* Pantone No.** 660.00 Black 6% Black 6C 660.01 Brown 6% 7582C 660.02 Red 8% 7620C 660.03 Orange 6% 1505C 660.04 Yellow 6% 124C 660.05 Green 6% 348C 660.06 Blue 6% 660C 660.07 Violet 15% 7664C 660.08 Grey 6% Cool Gray 8C 660.09 White 6% RAL9010 PSU RESINS Product Code Color RAL No.* S837.0 Black 9005 S837.1 Brown 8011 S837.2 Red 3002 S837.3 Orange 2004 S837.4 Light Yellow 1016 S837.5 Green 6032 S837.6 Blue 5015 S837.7 Violet 4005 S837.8 Grey 7037 S837.9 White 9016 PES RESINS Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.
