Colorant Chromatics™ PEI Masterbatch
Colors for High-Temperature Injection Molding Applications
Colorant Chromatics™ PEI colorants are specifically
designed to color polyetherimide (PEI) resin used in
high-temperature injection molding applications.
Color specifications are controlled
using the L,a,b color system.
Color will vary depending on the coloration design requirements and the end product thickness.
** Pantone reference is the closest possible match.

CUSTOM COLORS
Our pilot spinning plants are capable of producing
a full range of yarn counts, to match custom colors
and offer bespoke color options.
The extruder is
never contaminated with color which translates into faster, more efficient color
changeovers that make low volume and custom color production a reality.

These grips often
feature surface designs, colors and logos tailored to
specific game platforms or brands.
In addition to providing a custom green
shade, Avient’s engineers had to ensure the glow-in-the-
dark effect could match dedicated gamers’ extended
periods of play.
Avient was able to meet the customer’s
exact requirements for color and duration.

Although PVC is one option, this
manufacturer needed a colorable, drop-in replacement
for PC/ABS.
From there, the Avient team
identified material options that offered high flame
retardancy and finally, requirements for processing
flexibility and colorability were applied.
The results showed the
Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and
had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability
rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient
also used its custom color matching capabilities to
provide pre-colored material that simplified molding,
while the material’s wide processing window helped
accommodate a variety of molding environments

Recently, many TPEs have been uniquely developed to bond to specific substrate
materials based on surface energy or polarity match between the elastomer and the thermoplastics.
Most of the new TPEs are designed based on the
concept of matching the surface energy between the TPEs and the substrates.
Figure 1 shows the surface
energy match of various thermoplastic elastomers with rigid thermoplastics.
