Color can be
added to the additive in a combination masterbatch
allowing for both color and stain resistance efficacy
to be integrated into the yarn during the spin-dyeing
(dope-dyeing) process.
KEY BENEFITS
Avient’s stain-resistant concentrates provide
the following benefits:
• Efficient, long-lasting stain release properties
with no impact on yarn spinnability
• Innovative non-fluorine formulation
• Suitable for POY (DTY; ATY) and BCF with
processing temperatures up to 300°C
• Can be combined with color into a single product
for convenience
• Compatible with bath-dyeing and piece-dyeing
• Developed for spin-dyeing—a waterless one-in-
one process to dye and enhance the performance
of synthetic fibers
• Product guidance and technical assistance

Scenarios for 2030 predict that of the 1300kt of
PET material coming from PET bottles collected
from the market yearly, between 20 to 30% will be
colored bottles;2 these will enter their respective
sorting and collection systems to ultimately
produce rPET material that will be fed as new raw
material for non-food PET applications.
Providing
solutions that are considered recyclable within the
colored bottle stream will thus be an integral part
of the recyclability strategy for both convertors and
brand owners.
It was also demonstrated that usage of a reduced
amount of color, namely 0,045% of Fortis Amber-1,
allows the production of bottles (Bottle C) that closely
resembles the original bottles (Bottle A).
