Targeted at products for the consumer market, Artisan™ nylon (PA6) is the first material in a series of high-gloss, scratch-resistant pre-colored thermoplastics formulated to replace paint.
Parts molded from Artisan pre-colored thermoplastics offer excellent scratch resistance compared to painted plastic, which minimizes the appearance of scratches.
Replacing painted metal parts with Artisan materials also improves corrosion resistance.

Unlike surface treatments, they
are blended into the polymer during the spin-dyeing
process and are more resistant to washing and
wearing off.
Non-
toxic, non-corrosive and flameproof, inorganic
antimicrobials have no negative impact on plastic
and synthetic fiber processing.

Its portfolio of OnColor™ polymer colorants
was developed to improve the heat and long-term
color stability of cautionary orange polymers for
high-voltage EV connectors, offering the following
benefits:
• Long-term fading resistance in thermal aging
tests at up to 130°C for 1,000 hours,
• No migration, excellent processing stability
• Lower corrosion risk vs. typical comparable
colorants
• No impact on flame retardancy and limited
adverse effects on essential mechanical
characteristics, including flexural and impact
strength
Avient’s orange nylon colorants are available in
several validated RAL, Pantone, and JPMA orange
shades for compounding, injection molding, and
extrusion.
