Smartbatch™ Fabric FX Color and Additives Enhance Perceived Value with Look of Fabric Smartbatch™ Fabric FX color and additive concentrates from Avient are a hassle-free means for manufacturers to turn plain, smooth polymer surfaces into those that mimic the soft appearance of textile. There is no limit on colors that can be used to create the fabric look. While the effect is most visible on light colored parts, the appearance of dark parts is also enhanced.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives for Pharmaceutical Packaging Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives help protect and enhance the performance of polymers used in pharmaceutical packaging products such as vials, bottles, closure systems, films and combination devices. These functional additives are available as concentrates to dilute into the polymer, or ready-to-use formulations that can be used as such without dilution. Reduction in yellowing using Color Compensation Technology (CCT)   Reduced material consumption/cycle time/improved properties—nucleation Fast acting new generation nucleant for PE and PP; improved dimensional stability, thermal and mechanical properties    Laser marking replacing ink printing/labels Solvent-free, high-speed identification for Nd/YAG laser    Antiblock for PE/PP film Non-migrating additive system maintaining high gloss and printability  Antioxidants for PE, PP, TPE Thermal protection during converting/ downstream sterilization     Brand protection/ anticounterfeit Range of covert and non-covert systems    Volatiles/odor absorber for PE/PP Physical absorption of a wide range of molecules responsible for odor, VOC and potential extractables/ leachables in plastics   Healthcare use limitations apply—see below.

Uniquely themed artwork showcases the radiant special effects, opaque colors, and brilliant white inks used to bring the designs to life. In addition, our new high solids water-based system has excellent opacity to allow printers to reduce the number of screens, ink deposit, and flash units required.” Zodiac Aquarius Digital Hybrid eco-conscious inks help printers achieve vibrant color yield and enhance durability

Cesa™ Fiber Additives for stain resistance efficacy are non-fluorine additive concentrates developed for incorporation in the yarn during extrusion. Color can be added to the additive in a combination masterbatch allowing for both color and stain resistance efficacy to be integrated into the yarn during the spin-dyeing (dope-dyeing) process. The additive concentrates are also formulated to not interfere with over-dyeing, preserving the stain resistance effectiveness of bath- dyed and piece-dyed yarns and textiles containing our stain-resistant solution.

EPIC Rio inks are PANTONE® approved, with an extended color range of 18 single pigment finished ink mixing components, which balance color accuracy, vibrancy and opacity for peak press performance and color design.  In addition, designers can add more colors to their graphics without using larger screen presses for a cost effective solution. The matches to Pantone color standards are spot on.

Adding to their versatility, formulations can be designed using colors and specialty additives to meet specific needs.   Coloring Fluoropolymers Color masterbatch formulations can produce opaque colors or can be developed with the appropriate pigment particle size and loading to enable translucent colors.

In addition, the unique formulation offers excellent processing thanks to reduced lump formation. Our history of providing high-performance solutions is demonstrated through our robust portfolio of fluoropolymer color concentrates and high-temperature formulations,” said Anne Hippert, general manager, Colorant Chromatics group at Avient. This technology is offered for colors specified by the aeronautics industry, including light red, green, violet, blue, white and gray. 

The lightness (L*) values, green–red (a*) opponent values, and blue–yellow (b*) opponent values defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) color space were used to identify differences in color, and the yellowness index (YI) was measured in accordance with ASTM D1925. This method tests the inhibition of growth of S. reticulum, which is a waterborne bacteria that secrete a pink-colored permanent stainant. Markarian, Addit.
