ColorMatrix™ Optica™ PET Blue Toners & Colors: developed for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and preforms, designed to enhance recyclability and reduce yellowing that occurs during the recycling process.
Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Technology for Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene resins (FEP): can outperform traditional and infra-red marking, enabling a permanent, gentle, cost-effective ultraviolet (UV) marking with 60%- 80% percent contrast, such as required for cables in aerospace.

For all HB references, the color concentrates are
listed with reference to resin chemistry, which
enables total flexibility of choice for the resin grade.
For V-0, V-1, V-2, 5VA and 5VB, the color
concentrates have to be listed with reference to
specific resin grades.
If the required resin is not listed under Avient
concentrates, please contact an Avient
representative to discuss more options.

PSU resin has the lowest
temperature requirements, but provides the
highest clarity.
FEATURES AND COLORS
PSU, PES and PPSU masterbatches are manufactured
using 100% prime virgin resin.
Ten standard colors are available for each type of
resin.

Then, the team researched the best combination of
additive and carrier resin for the application.
As an added
benefit, Avient designed a universal carrier that enabled
the manufacturer to use the same additives across a
variety of olefins, elastomers, and other resins.
Coupled with their ability to be used across
a variety of different resins, these antimicrobial
additives provide significant value.
