This new technology offers enhanced color and aesthetic options with unique metallic effects, meeting the growing demands of high-performance polymer applications with a more sustainable alternative to traditional painting processes. This new technology also reinforces Avient's collaboration with BASF in offering the global market metallic-colored grades of Ultrason® high-performance polymers. BASF’s Ultrason® polyarylethersulfones (PAES) can provide ultra-high temperature and chemical resistance combined with excellent mechanical performance for parts in industries such as household, aerospace, and healthcare.

Though elevated or high temperature performance corresponds to the morphology of the polymer and its glass transition temperature, long fiber reinforced thermoplastic will retain more of its structural performance longer than an unreinforced or short fiber reinforced plastic. Fiber reinforcement allows composites to retain more mechanical function at elevated temperatures and closer to the polymers glass transition temperature (Tg) than an unmodified polymer. Composites using a semi-crystalline polymer matrix will retain some mechanical performance closer to the polymer’s glass transition temperature (Tg) than an amorphous polymer.
