Smartbatch™ Fabric FX Color and Additives Enhance Perceived Value with Look of Fabric Smartbatch™ Fabric FX color and additive concentrates from Avient are a hassle-free means for manufacturers to turn plain, smooth polymer surfaces into those that mimic the soft appearance of textile. There is no limit on colors that can be used to create the fabric look. While the effect is most visible on light colored parts, the appearance of dark parts is also enhanced.

Colorants & Additives for Electrical & Electronic Applications IEC 60695-2, known as the Glow Wire test, and UL 94 are established standards in the Electrical & Electronics industry that ensure plastic parts in electrical and electronic components have been tested for fire resistance in support of safer consumer products. Avient offers UL 94 compliant concentrates and flame retardant solutions which meet the latest UL 94 and Glow Wire fire standards, while also considering technical requirements, coloration options and cost efficiency.

CLEVELAND – A new technology from Colorant Chromatics, a PolyOne business, can help reduce the amount of energy required to cool stadiums, shopping malls, and other large indoor facilities. With SiteCool technology, owners of large facilities gain a new tool in the fight to make their sites more energy efficient,” said Barto Du Plessis, general manager, Colorant Chromatics.

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

Local production, which is expected to begin in January 2017, enables PolyOne to support customers with specially engineered materials in addition to the color and additive concentrates already produced domestically in India. Colorants and additives produced here serve multiple end-use markets, including transportation, electronics & electrical, healthcare, wire & cable, and packaging.

The new materials have a pleasing aesthetic compared to alternative natural fiber-filled polymer grades, are fully colorable, and can be formulated to meet various regulatory compliance standards, making them suitable for consumer applications such as household items and personal care products.  Looking to differentiate in the market and meet the desires of consumers, Difaş worked with Avient to develop a solution for toothbrush handles, combs, and hairbrush handles that utilizes natural filler while also offering high-end colorability and durability. 

Today’s lifestyles often involve outdoor activity, even in cold weather, and that leads to increasing demand for functional clothing that is warm while remaining lightweight,” said Say-Eng Lee, Vice President and General Manager of Color & Additives Asia at Avient.   They also can be combined with specific colorants into a single, customized masterbatch to simplify manufacturing. 

With well-controlled laser transmission rates, multiple color choices and customized performance options, this new addition to the Bergamid portfolio allows manufacturers to produce high-performance parts with durable welds and smooth surfaces. Laser welding is technically advanced, and its success depends on the weldability, transmission rates, softening point, absorption agents, and color compatibility of the materials used,” said Flight Xu, general manager of Specialty Engineered Materials Asia for PolyOne.
