They also offer the ability for producers seeking more flexibility in managing plastic material inventory to store large quantities of virgin or recycled resin and order flame-retardant concentrates as needed for individual projects.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • More accurate dosage on a small-scale leading to better color consistency • Better color dispersion in transparent PC resin compared to pigments, helping to retain transparent properties • Prevents contamination by keeping cleanliness in production lines often found with powders • Lower inventory, easier supply chain management • Better cost effectiveness with lower dosage • Prevents undesirable yellowness/greenness in PC chips • Supports sustainability through improved color and material changeover time • Liquid solution reduces dosage compared to alternatives PRODUCT BULLETIN www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

This ultimately resulted in improved overall plant productivity with strong density management, control over material consumption and increased extruder productivity.
