PRODUCT BULLETIN
ColorMatrix™ Liquid Dispersion
for Extrusion Blow Molding
Avient’s ColorMatrix™ LCX liquid color products are
the latest advancement in technology to deliver
stable pigment dispersions for the extrusion blow
molding (EBM) process.
ColorMatrix
LCX dispersions are designed to minimize and
eliminate screw slip, streaking and specking, all
while generating cost-to-color savings through
processing efficiencies that include:
• Handling efficiency – bulk distribution,
individual feed stations
• Inventory reduction – less inventory
and required floor space
• Process efficiency – improved color
change times
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Highly concentrated pigment dispersions
specifically for EBM processing
• Provides dimensional stability by utilizing more
resin instead of fillers
• Reduces costs through handling
and processing efficiencies
• Customization available for design
and product handling
• Can be formulated in combination with
a wide selection of additive technologies
to meet performance needs
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
ColorMatrix LCX Liquid Dispersions for EBM
processing are well suited for the following:
• Monolayer applications
• LDR less than 3%
• Large volume whites and blacks
• Tints
