Available as a solid masterbatch, the additive can be extruded with packaging resins without the need for extra equipment.

The new masterbatch can be used in all PET bottles, including those for water, beverage and personal care packaging.

Like all Avient’s fiber concentrates (a.k.a. masterbatches), they are typically incorporated into the fibers using spin-dying technology during yarn manufacturing.

The judicious use of color masterbatch, additives to provide texture to a part, and other color and additive formulations enable manufacturers to realize innovative color matching even as they incorporate new materials into the mix.

COLORANTS & ADDITIVES FOR HEALTHCARE Essential polymer solutions for critical healthcare applications WHEN MATERIAL EXPERTISE IS CRITICAL AESTHETIC APPEAL Regulatory compliant and approved masterbatch colors use custom polymer colorants to achieve any shade SPECIAL EFFECTS Enhance your brand and stand apart with pearlescent, metallic, iridescent, fluorescent or thermo-chromatic effects SOLID TO LIQUID SOLUTIONS Choose from a full range of available color solutions, from liquid color to solid product forms ANTIMICROBIALS Efficacy performance and regulatory requirements are met in a wide range of resins compatible with Withstand™ antimicrobial technology SURFACE ENERGY MODIFICATION Additive technologies such as low retention, hydrophobic, lubricious, light diffusion, or anti-stat provide desired surface manipulation Materials used for today’s medical devices, parts and pharmaceutical packaging contribute significantly to performance and, in turn, to a patient’s health and well-being.

A dedicated team is able to scientifically investigate details of the recycling process, understand the degradation and behavior of polymers, and develop the right additive and color masterbatches to increase the performance of PCRs and guarantee high recyclability of the final article.

Upon approval of the final CMF concept, the product code is issued, and a production location for the masterbatch is determined.

WithStand antimicrobial additives can be combined with colorants or other functional additives in a single masterbatch or liquid solution to get the exact performance needed.
