They help make plastic parts opaque, but they don’t interfere with polymer colorants.
Graphite, which can be loaded at high concentrations in the polymer, can provide high conductivity but is highly anisotropic1, meaning its conductivity changes depending on direction.
The fine black powder is added at relatively high levels and creates only black-colored parts.

Thanks to this new additive, converters and brand owners can use higher concentrations of rPET without compromising packaging aesthetics or performance.
For applications requiring color or toning, SmartHeat RHC is also available as SmartHeat Tint, a range of recycle-friendly colors for preforms and bottles or SmartHeat Tone, toners suitable for use in rPET.
PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), with 2018 revenues of $3.5 billion, is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions.

The colorant is in the form of concentrate pellets added to the polymer pellets during the extrusion and melting process.
This is where dope-dyeing and Avient’s colorant technology, along with Coloro’s colors, can help.
Coloro is the future of color.

PRODUCT BULLETIN
Non-PFAS Polymer Process Aids
for Extrusion in Polyolefins
Cesa™ and Hiformer™ Non-PFAS Process Aids are
formulated without the use of fluorochemicals.
They can be used in the extrusion of polyethylene
or polypropylene to reduce the friction between the
molten polymer and metal, enabling the polymers
to be extruded without melt fracture.
The performance of
both Cesa solid and Hiformer liquid additives is
effective at low concentrations in eliminating melt
fracture (shark skin) and die buildup (die drool).

With the booming textile market in Asia, many customers are looking for sustainable and innovative polymer solutions that enable them to meet performance demands for textile applications,” says Say-Eng Lee, vice president and general manager, Color & Additives Asia at Avient.
Renol™ Fiber Colorants are specific for synthetic fiber dope-dyeing (or spin dyeing), requiring no water and less energy than traditional bath dyeing methods while enhancing the properties of color fastness.
Cesa™ Fiber Tracer Concentrates contain special taggants that can identify the origin of fibers in different applications, including garments, sportswear, and home textiles.

Cesa™ Non-PFAS Process Aid for Extrusion enables processing performance comparable to traditional fluoropolymer-based solutions.
Formulated without fluoropolymers, which may be classifiable as per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS), it reduces friction between the polymer and the metal during extrusion, allowing the polymer to be more easily extruded.
