Minor changes in your ink’s composition can mean the difference between poor, satisfactory and outstanding results. Meet high-temperature manufacturing requirements without compromising on color accuracy See how our specially formulated colorants can help differentiate your brand

Standard formulations in polycarbonate (PC), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and liquid crystal polymers (LCP) can be tailored to specific needs. Increased integration of electronic and mechanical functions using MIDs can meet the challenge that many industries and markets face; namely, finding simple, light weight components without compromising production efficiency and increasing cost,” said Flight Xu, general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials Asia, Avient. The new Edgetek formulations also can help electronic component manufacturers to miniaturize mechanical and electrical (also known as mechatronics) systems, even in high heat manufacturing processes, such as SMT (surface mount technology).

These materials were developed in response to consumer and industrial market demands for materials that can withstand increased cleaning and disinfecting protocols. The pandemic has given rise to more frequent cleaning and disinfecting, and this new normal is fueling demand for materials that can endure increased chemical exposure without degrading,” said Matthew Mitchell, director, global marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. These new grades offer application and design engineers a durable solution that reduces disinfectant-related failures, like cracking and crazing, so products and surfaces can last longer and look better.” 

The textile market has long sought deep black colorants that offer exceptional jetness to textiles without incurring high costs. Deep black is perceived by customers as more attractive, conveying an impression of high quality in contrast to less intense black shades, which can look washed out.
