TECHNOLOGY GUIDE
This guide was created as a handy reference tool for automotive
designers.
It is intended to serve as an inspiration for you in
exploring colors and effects to meet material design goals.
Color effects are suggested based on several criteria, including:
• Specific applications
• Ability to execute the effect in distinct resin grades
• Performance requirements of the application
If you do not see the color effect you are looking for, please
contact us to collaborate on a solution.

It can be customized to fulfill
specific properties and combined with color
into a Smartbatch™ solution with exact color
matching to the final article
COLOR SOLUTIONS
• OnColor™ Polymer Colorants customized to
customer’s requirements are color matched
taking into consideration the recycled
resin grade specificities and application
requirements
Our PCR Color Prediction Service helps
frame the available color space based on
the PCR characteristics including opacity
and undertone for recycled polyolefins,
PET, and styrenics
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-12/CAI W_C - Product Selection Guide EMEA_0.pdf
These colorants are designed for a wide
variety of applications, in line with RAL, IEC 304,
BS 6746C and AFNOR (Association Française de
Normalisation) color requirements.
Color and Additive Combinations
Smartbatch™ Combination
Colorants and Additives
Combines custom or standard colors with a performance-enhancing or functional
additive in one pellet.
Main RAL colors correspond to BS and/or Afnor colors.
