Feeling of “softness” of two TPE of same hardness but different chemistry can be quite different, because of the difference of modulus. At same hardness, PVC and TPV have a much higher modulus and lower elongation than SBC compound.

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.

These additives minimize the need to apply secondary coatings in order to achieve the same performance.

As an added benefit, Avient designed a universal carrier that enabled the manufacturer to use the same additives across a variety of olefins, elastomers, and other resins.

It helps customers broaden their product portfolio under the same ISBM mold to differentiate their offerings.SmartBatch Frost Collection enables packaging customers to develop a soft, touchable, cool, and icy appearance, and give more design freedom with a wide range of color options.

In addition to the traditional petroleum-based BT218 grade, this portfolio also features a biopolymer alternative that contains 40% bio- derived content to support sustainability and meets the same strict performance requirements.

COLOR AND EFFECTS Color Harmony If you are aiming for a homogeneous look, we can develop specific colorants so that different components of your appliance are the same color no matter which polymer types and grades they are made from. Functional additives can be added to enhance the mechanical properties of the recycled plastics but also to provide the same performance enhancement as virgin polymers.

The ridge not only provides support for the archer’s hand, but it offers the ability to duplicate shots by keeping the hand in the same position, shot after shot.

These technologies enable lower colorant use rates while achieving the same quality as higher let down ratios and traditional masterbatches.

Catalyst Content - ECCOH XL 8148 solutions are REACH compliant and require 50% less catalyst compared with competitive solutions, while providing the same crosslinking efficacy.
