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.

Color is everywhere. Product range • A comprehensive selection of colors and color indices • SPDs are produced at various concentrations to meet customer requirements • Good spinnability • Full dispersion • Excellent tinting strength • Maximum fastness properties • Lot-to-lot consistency • Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PP • Continuous filaments (POY, FDY, HOY, BCF) 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. * V0 @ 1.5 and 3.0mm FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) FR PC/ABS failed 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% 140% Virex TB Clorox Broad Spectrum CaviCide SaniCloth Plus wipes FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC/ABS failed FR PC / ABS (1.0% Strain) FR PC / ABS (1.5% Strain) Trilliant HC (1.0% strain) Trilliant HC (1.5% strain) TENSILE STRENGTH RETENTION AFTER 7 DAYS EXPOSURE Both materials were tested according to ASTM D543 for 7 days.

The final solution was pre-colored to match the brand’s existing color palette and eliminate the need for secondary processing steps.
