Polymer Additives | Transportation Needing even more throughput on the molder, they looked for additives that could improve performance. The additive concentrate not only reduced cycle times as expected, it allowed the supplier to achieve better flow and mold filling.

Avient offers a comprehensive portfolio of colorants and additives for nonwovens in the form of concentrates. Custom color, additive or color/additive combination concentrates can be developed to meet the specific requirements of your application. Electret additives help retain the electrostatic charge on the polymer surface for for longer periods of time.

In practice, a laser beam activates a laser-sensitive additive embedded in the polymer. The beam changes the molecular structure of the additive, causing a color change and creating a permanent mark. Gary Fielding, global marketing director for PolyOne Color and Additives, notes, “PolyOne has long been a leader in development of laser-sensitive additive formulations, and these new developments are further proof of that.

Cesa™ Laser Marking Additives Cesa™ Laser Marking additive technology gives manufacturers a new level of control in laser marking polymers with speed and clarity. The additive technology can be custom formulated for specific resin and laser types. Cesa Laser Marking solutions not only contain a laser marking additive but also deliver a part’s color and can include other performance enhancing additives such as those for scratch or UV resistance.

ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additive for PET ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additives for PET provided high-performance light blocking technology and enabled a recyclable alternative to long-life dairy packaging. UHT dairy products require special packaging consideration for long ambient shelf life, and ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additive provided a high-performance light blocking product.

Fiber Additives MagIQ™ Nonwoven Electret Additives By introducing additives with charge storage properties, “charge traps” were created to capture the electret charge being applied to melt-blown non-woven material.

Cesa™ Stat Antistatic Additives Cesa™ Stat Antistatic Additives control the buildup of static charges in thermoplastic parts, enabling them to dissipate by absorbing and ionizing moisture from the air, which forms a conductive path for surface static charges. Cesa Stat Antistatic Additives can be combined with other additives or colorants in a single Smartbatch™ concentrate for processing efficiency and ease.
