Color & Additive
Formulations for
Biodegradable Resins
& Blends
Using a selected list of pigments and additives,
Avient color experts know how to enhance
biodegradable starch blends or PLA without
affecting degradability of the resins.
Our current portfolio of pre-tested pigments offers:
• A wide range of color masterbatch options
• From opaque to transparent—depending on
the blend or resin
It is important to note that the final colors will
depend on the percentage of use, the resin,
the thickness, and the opacity.
Starch blend
resins often vary from white to brown and this
can influence the final color rendering in the
application.

The liquid is then extruded through bushings and are coated (sized) to help bundle the filaments and prepare the fibers for composite resin interface.

They are manufactured using only pigments, alkali-stabilized acrylic resin, water and a small amount of non-metallic preservative.

This process allows the coating resin to penetrate the fiber bundle before the yarns are braided, allowing for improved impregnation and a higher level of pickup, ultimately extending the life of the braid and reducing required maintenance.

It is the same polymer resin utilized in the plastic bottle industry.
