SPECIALTY PACKAGING SOLUTIONS ADD WEIGHT AND AESTHETICS TO YOUR LUXURY PACKAGING CLOSURE DESIGNS WITH DENSITY MODIFIED FORMULATIONS Consumers of luxury cosmetics and spirits tend to perceive added value from packaging that incorporates weight, aesthetics, and visual surface effects into the design. Add weight while simplifying your processing steps – Simplify your manufacturing process by injection molding a weighted, finished part in one step rather than adding a metal weight. Reduce the number of parts – By injection molding Gravi-Tech material, you will no longer need to assemble multiple parts to achieve added weight.

Part walls need to remain parallel when adding draft . One thing to avoid in adding draft is a large variation in wall thickness . This helps to reduce added compressive loads or pressures on the plastic .

Beyond applicators, TPEs in packaging can be used to communicate an upscale message for premium products, or they can emphasize enhancements or value-added features for everyday products. Most packaging doesn’t take advantage of the sense of touch to make that connection, so adding color and texture with soft touch materials can help your package stand out from the competition on store shelves.

THE SOLUTION When added to PET preforms or rPET, ColorMatrix Optica blue toners and color formulations work to correct any yellowing or color variation, resulting in packaging that maintains a neutral or blue color with improved quality and performance. Since the formulation also has improved heat stability, it will not accelerate yellowing during the recycling process, and will also help reduce energy consumption and improve bottle mechanical strength by incorporating all the added benefits from the SmartHeat RHC technology.

However, the way color is added to fibers can directly affect the sustainability of the final fabric, which is an important topic for the textile industry. Product range • Flame retardants to reduce flammability of fibers and fabrics especially in building and construction applications • Light stabilizers to protect fibers used outdoors or exposed to sunlight against UV light • Antimicrobials to protect hygienic fiber products from bacteria proliferation • Antistatics to reduce electrostatic charges • Antioxidants to reduce polymer oxidation during spinning and protect fabrics during service life • Optical brighteners to provide a brilliant white effect and blueish hue • Electrets to retain electrostatic charge on the polymer surface for a longer period of time in filtration applications • Hydrophobics to impart durable water repellency • Chain extenders for recycled polyester fibers • Others on request Product characteristics • Good spinnability • Fiber-specific QC and protocols • Lot-to-lot consistency • Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PP, and others • Possibility to combine colors and additives into a combination concentrate for convenience • Product guidance from our fiber expert team • Focus on safe and sustainable formulations Applications • Continuous filaments (POY, FDY, HOY, BCF) • Long and short spinning staple fiber • Nonwoven processes (spunbond and meltblown) Cesa™ Fiber Additives MagIQ™ Liquid Fiber Colorants & Additives Multiple color production • Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several injection points can be added to enable multiple color production at the same time on a single extruder Batch size flexibility • Fiber producers can manufacture anything from a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the same simple process Rapid color changes • No extruder contamination and easy color-on, color-off operation increases color change speed Waste reduction • Rapid color changes, precise metering and the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste during color changeovers Continuous metering & long spin pack life • High pigment and dye concentrations mean fewer pack changes are required • Where color is running low for larger volume runs, low level metering sensors alert operators and packs can be changed without disrupting production In-line IV adjustment • Specialist additives are available to adjust Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET applications • These additives are available as single products, or can be combined with color to create a multi- functional formulation Color design service • Avient offers a dedicated color design service to help shorten product development cycles and enhance market agility Liquid color processing • Formulations are stable at temperatures up to 60°C and retain good flow properties at temperatures as low as 10°C • These formulations can help lower yarn friction and abrasion, and there is no fuming or evaporation during production Avient’s liquid fiber colorant technology combines advanced liquid color formulations with state-of-the-art, high-pressure metering equipment to enable late-stage injection of liquid color for spun-dyed polymer melt. The reliable low liquid level detection system alerts operators when product is running low; adding additional product does not require stopping the machine, so continuous production is possible without any loss of part color. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.
