Leverage the power of advanced polymers in your paddlesports equipment Here are 3 ways polymers can add these coveted aspects to your designs: Using micro-layering techniques with polymer-based synthetic fibers can generate an exceptionally durable personal flotation device fabric that is also breathable and lightweight.

Engineered Polymer Formulations | Lightweighting , Metal Replacement Polymers are formed differently and have inherent properties that are optimized by using best practices for their design. Don’t wait too long to select materials: Engage with a polymer supplier early on in the design process to specify the exact material attributes you need.

The concentrates need to be diluted with virgin polymer during the conversion process to achieve the right amount of color or additive in the plastic. The ready-to-use formulations already include the right amount of color and/or additive and can be converted as such without virgin polymer.   Help protect or enhance the performance of polymers used in medical devices, diagnostics and pharmaceutical packaging.

Coloring polymers in any process gives a degree of freedom and flexibility that’s not possible with pre-colored polymers. Learn more about your polymer coloring options by contacting an expert at Avient today!

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.
