We offer cost-effective masterbatch or dry colorant solutions in small or large volumes that are compatible with a variety of resins.
Cost-effective solid masterbatch or dry colorant options
Solid Color Masterbatches
https://www.avient.com/idea/auto-supplier-cuts-costs-painting-trim-parts
Masterbatch approach eliminates added cost, chemical volatility of painting
The new material, which could be produced in a metallic-effect masterbatch, would allow the supplier to replace the time-consuming painting process.
The switch to masterbatch technology was made without a large capital investment.
https://www.avient.com/knowledge-base/case-study/advancing-development-treated-bed-nets-malaria-control
Avient and IVCC created a new medium scale masterbatch production laboratory in China to support research and development into non-registered novel active ingredients for incorporation into long lasting treated nets.
Avient has extensive global ability in the formulation development and manufacturing of groundbreaking material solutions to support malaria control, including a technologically advanced anti-mosquito masterbatch for use in long lasting treated nets.
The novel insecticides in development are formulated tightly into the masterbatch, allowing best bio-efficiency performance with a permanent but slow release to the surface—just enough to kill any mosquito by contact.

Colorant Chromatics PEI Masterbatch - Colors for High Temperature Injection Molding
https://www.avient.com/news/new-polyone-oncolor-“shades-nature”-collection-revealed-fakuma-2018
As part of the OnColor™ Polymer Colorants masterbatch portfolio, this group of ten masterbatch colorants enables plastic to mimic naturally occurring materials such as stone, marble, and granite.
In combination with surface texture and part geometry, these masterbatches give plastic parts the appearance of naturally-occurring materials so that, for example, designers could create a toaster that appears to be carved out of granite.
In addition, the masterbatch can contain other performance and/or process-enhancing additives customized to specific needs.
