CLEVELAND – October 31, 2017 – PolyOne today launched OnColor™ Brilliant Metallic Colorants, a striking new line of special effect masterbatches that finally meet the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish. Our customers across multiple industries have been looking for a paint-free solution with no tradeoffs, which drove us to develop this new masterbatch.

PolyOne fiber colorant and additive solutions now span five brands, including solid masterbatch options for traditional and melt spun fiber from recent acquisitions Magenta Master Fibers and IQAP. Gary Fielding, vice president of PolyOne’s Color & Additive business in Europe, commented, “Our full fiber offering consists of an unparalleled range of exceptional solid masterbatches and specialty liquid concentrates, as well as regional manufacturing and technical expertise.

This masterbatch helps manufacturers to efficiently injection mold attractive parts that appear to be covered with textile. This masterbatch also helps manufacturers transition from a complex polymers-and-textile process to more efficient, single-step molding.” 

Compared to traditional dyes, the new super black masterbatch colorants for PA and PET fibers are a more sustainable solution. New super black colors also feature a 30 to 60 percent lower addition rate compared with conventional black masterbatch.

Avient offers color concentrates (a.k.a. masterbatches) for spin-dyeing virgin and recycled fiber-grade polymers. In addition, Avient has built a strong expertise in spin-dyeing based on decades of developing masterbatch solutions for the textile market and working with local and regional fiber producers and textile associations.

An enforced gap analysis of technical documentation may show that current plastic resin grades or masterbatches do not have adequate change control, and there are insufficient change agreements with suppliers For higher risk IVD, the gap analysis may also reveal that current resin grades or masterbatches don’t have sufficient regulatory assumptions, e.g., they are not verified for elemental impurities (ICH Q3D)
