Experts say it’s color. Enhancing polymer materials with colorants can: • Differentiate products • Reinforce branding • Evoke emotions • Add value to a commodity item • Promote safety Creative and effective use of polymer colorants, which come in liquid and solid forms, can have an impact all along the value chain. COMPLEMENTARY SOLUTIONS SMART COLORANTS: MAKING THE MOST OF COLOR SOLID COLORANTS LIQUID COLORANTS Available based on many different carrier resins Clean, easy handling + feeding Designed + engineered for compatible polymer matrix More effective for low letdown ratios Highly accurate dispensing Can be processed at lower temperatures COLOR STRATEGY BEST PRACTICES EXPANDING COLORANT OPTIONS Avoid limiting yourself to either solid or liquid forms, and focus on the requirements of the end application instead • Widen your materials and applications possibilities • Achieve the desired effect for each part • Optimize productivity and system costs by matching the right colorant type to the project ADDING SPECIAL EFFECTS Further differentiate and add value to your products • Examples include: metallic, pearlescent, chrome look, edge glow, sparkle/glitter, neon/fluorescent look, woodgrain/stone/camouflage SELECTING + SIZING COLORANT EQUIPMENT Both liquid and solid colorants can be used in the same production facility • Use the right colorant to significantly impact production and offer improvements in terms of efficiency and quality. * WebpageFX, www.webpagefx.com/blog/web-design/psychology-of-color-infographic/ ** “Colorant Market Size Worth $37.49 Billion By 2025,” Grand View Research, Inc. $37.5B projected global colorants market size by 2025** 84.7% of consumers cite colors as the primary reason they buy a particular product* U S D © 2020 Avient, All Rights Reserved To learn more about polymer colorants and how you can improve your current color strategy, visit avientdistribution.com or call +1.844.4AVIENT https://www.avientdistribution.com/
