ColorMatrix Optica for PC toners offer exceptional visual clarity, color consistency, and color dispersion in transparent PC resins.
They help to retain transparent properties, and can prevent undesirable color shifts toward yellows and greens.
It can and often does replace more traditional construction materials, such as glass and acrylic, in applications where transparency and clarity are important.

As a raw material, LSR is generally transparent.
A transparent part that
has yellowed because of UV sterilization may still perform perfectly,
but will have an adverse reaction by doctors and patients alike.
LSR is inherently UV resistant and will not degrade when exposed
to UV.

VERSAFLEX™ CE TPEs FOR 5G TRANSPARENCY
Rapidly expanding 5G networks are increasing
performance requirements across the consumer
electronics industry.
These 5G transparent
TPEs combine the excellent physical properties,
aesthetics and UV resistance qualities of traditional
TPEs with lower dielectric constant (Dk) and
dissipation factor (Df) performance, resulting in
an advanced material solution with less signal
degradation for next-generation devices.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives
Laser Welding Additives for Medical Devices
Laser welding has become a technology of choice
to join plastic parts of complex medical devices.
Also known as transmission welding, laser welding
is the process of using focused laser radiation to
bond two plastic parts, one that is transparent to
the laser energy and one that absorbs the energy.
Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent
implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.

UV Stability
Exposure to sunlight can cause yellowing and brittleness.
Incorporating UV stability helps prolong the service
life and aesthetics of appliances.
Options for black, white and color markings are available on opaque but
also transparent plastics.
