The colorant is in the form of concentrate pellets added to the polymer pellets during the extrusion and melting process.
Avient offers color concentrates (a.k.a. masterbatches) for spin-dyeing virgin and recycled fiber-grade polymers.
In addition, Avient’s Cesa™ Fiber Additives can enhance properties such as light stabilization, flame retardancy, or antimicrobial effectiveness to increase recycled polymers' spinning efficiency and mechanical properties.
