Color & Additive Formulations for Biodegradable Resins & Blends Using a selected list of pigments and additives, Avient color experts know how to enhance biodegradable starch blends or PLA without affecting degradability of the resins. A dedicated selection of aid processes, all following the requirements of Annex A of EN13432, including slip agents, anti-block and metal release additives, can help reduce issues during the film extrusion and harmonize the entire process. The pigments and ingredients contained in Avient’s bio colorants have been tested in independent laboratories who assessed the compliancy of those materials according to standard EN 13432 for content of heavy metals, and toxicity to plants.

In addition to increasing competitive market position, Colorsperse organic-based colorants also boost process efficiency by eliminating pigment grinding and additional quality checks, which often require multiple color corrections. This new line incorporates a plant-based carrier system and leads to a cleaner working environment than is typical with dry powder pigments. Seth Tomasch, general manager, PolyOne, said, “Cosmetics brands can leverage our expertise in pigment dispersions to improve their competitive advantage with greater process efficiencies and enhanced consumer appeal that expands marketplace reach.”
