Wire and cable applications benefit from coatings that add color, add abrasion resistance, absorb and block water, and enhance UV resistance. Colorcoat™ Fiber Color Coating Achieve vibrant colors for safety, identification and aesthetics

As leaders in colorants and additives for PET packaging, we have extensive experience developing high-performance materials, colorants and additives for beverage containers and closures. Color Cosmetics

APPLICATIONS Avient’s chain extenders for fibers can be used to boost the processing of recycled polyester for a variety of textile products, including: • Clothing and sportswear • Bags and backpacks • Home textiles and upholstery • Automotive textiles and insulation/heat management systems • Carpets and rugs WORKING PRINCIPLE As opposed to standard chain extenders, which usually branch the PET molecules, Avient’s chain extenders for recycled PET fibers extend the molecules in a linear way, which is more adapted to the reprocessing into fibers. KEY BENEFITS • High-temperature stability and very good processability • Excellent compatibility with the application resin • Increase of intrinsic viscosity/molecular weight • Suitable for standard machinery used by customers • Good cost-performance ratio • Can be combined with color into a single combination concentrate for convenience • Product guidance and technical assistance from our experts PRODUCT BULLETIN Sustainability Spotlight Recycle Solutions Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.

THE SOLUTION The Avient technical team leveraged its expertise in liquid colorants and chemical additives to scientifically engineer its line of ColorMatrix™ Excelite™ chemical foaming additives (CFAs) for PVC processing. This ultimately resulted in improved overall plant productivity with strong density management, control over material consumption and increased extruder productivity.
