Avient will exhibit newly launched OnColor™ Durable Orange Nylon Colorants for high-voltage electric vehicle (EV) connectors.
These new orange colorants, developed as part of Avient’s OnColor portfolio, can help improve the heat and long-term color stability of cautionary, orange-colored polymers in both engineering and general-purpose plastics with no or limited adverse effects on mechanical properties or flame retardancy and can also be customized for laser marking (link to full press release here).
Colorant Chromatics™ Transcend™ Premier Healthcare Colorants: high-temperature solutions offered in pre-colored or concentrate form in a range of vivid opaque and transparent colors that are fully bio-compatible per ISO 10993 standards to provide ultra-high-heat resistance and performance without compromising safety

OnColor™ FX™ Special Effect Colorants
PRODUCT BULLETIN
Special effects can help boost the visual appeal of
plastic products and parts in many applications.
The OnColor™ FX™ Special Effect Colorants portfolio
includes a myriad of effects including metallics (e.g.,
silver, copper), natural look (e.g., wood grain, granit,
speckles), gloss and brilliance (e.g., pearlescence,
iridescence, frost), high-visibility (e.g., fluorescence,
sparkles) and color-changing (e.g., photochromic,
thermochromic).
In addition, OnColor special
effects are incorporated into the plastic during part
manufacturing, removing the need for secondary
processes like painting, eliminating the associated
VOC emissions and preventing peel-off issues.

The new color and additive concentrates and tailored ready-to-use formulations are made with bio-based polycarbonate, ABS, or styrenic polymers.
These are in addition to bio-based polyolefin materials that Avient introduced in 2021.
Along with pre-colored formulations for users who prefer ready-to-use solutions, they are more sustainable drop-in replacements for fossil-based materials.
