After developing a deep understanding of the customer’s needs, Avient’s team quickly went to work formulating a custom OnCap™ Light Diffusion additive technology, then added a custom OnColor™ color to make a single Smartbatch™ masterbatch solution. The OEM was able to purchase virgin resin and add only the necessary amounts of color and diffusion additives required to achieve peak performance. Smartbatch solutions incorporate color, light diffusion technology and flame retardant into a single masterbatch.
