Renol™ & Remafin™ Fiber Colorants Black & White STANDARD AND CUSTOM BLACK CONCENTRATES • High pigment concentrations for high tinting strength • Lower concentrations to meet specific customer needs • Tailored for special requirements, with specific physical/rheological properties STANDARD AND CUSTOM WHITE CONCENTRATES • TiO2 based with excellent opacifying or tinting strength • Optical white to improve the surface whiteness and/or brighteness of end articles • Regulatory compliance support Product characteristics • Optimal melt flow properties allow a good mixture with the polymer matrix yielding the best possible spinnability • Full pigment dispersion ensures maximum CPF/Spinning pack life • Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PA 66, PP, and others Applications • Continuous filament spinning, including fine denier (POY, FDY, HOY, bi-component yarns) • Long and short spinning staple fiber • Spunbond SINGLE PIGMENT DISPERSIONS (SPDS) We have extensive experience in using advanced technologies and special raw materials, which make our SPDs suitable for more demanding applications. Product range • Flame retardants to reduce flammability of fibers and fabrics especially in building and construction applications • Light stabilizers to protect fibers used outdoors or exposed to sunlight against UV light • Antimicrobials to protect hygienic fiber products from bacteria proliferation • Antistatics to reduce electrostatic charges • Antioxidants to reduce polymer oxidation during spinning and protect fabrics during service life • Optical brighteners to provide a brilliant white effect and blueish hue • Electrets to retain electrostatic charge on the polymer surface for a longer period of time in filtration applications • Hydrophobics to impart durable water repellency • Chain extenders for recycled polyester fibers • Others on request Product characteristics • Good spinnability • Fiber-specific QC and protocols • Lot-to-lot consistency • Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PP, and others • Possibility to combine colors and additives into a combination concentrate for convenience • Product guidance from our fiber expert team • Focus on safe and sustainable formulations Applications • Continuous filaments (POY, FDY, HOY, BCF) • Long and short spinning staple fiber • Nonwoven processes (spunbond and meltblown) Cesa™ Fiber Additives MagIQ™ Liquid Fiber Colorants & Additives Multiple color production • Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several injection points can be added to enable multiple color production at the same time on a single extruder Batch size flexibility • Fiber producers can manufacture anything from a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the same simple process Rapid color changes • No extruder contamination and easy color-on, color-off operation increases color change speed Waste reduction • Rapid color changes, precise metering and the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste during color changeovers Continuous metering & long spin pack life • High pigment and dye concentrations mean fewer pack changes are required • Where color is running low for larger volume runs, low level metering sensors alert operators and packs can be changed without disrupting production In-line IV adjustment • Specialist additives are available to adjust Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET applications • These additives are available as single products, or can be combined with color to create a multi- functional formulation Color design service • Avient offers a dedicated color design service to help shorten product development cycles and enhance market agility Liquid color processing • Formulations are stable at temperatures up to 60°C and retain good flow properties at temperatures as low as 10°C • These formulations can help lower yarn friction and abrasion, and there is no fuming or evaporation during production Avient’s liquid fiber colorant technology combines advanced liquid color formulations with state-of-the-art, high-pressure metering equipment to enable late-stage injection of liquid color for spun-dyed polymer melt. It works by injecting liquid color at high pressure into the polymer melt- flow between the end of the extruder, or melt-pipe, and the spin head.

A product that looks better, feels more comfortable and improves overall functionality can attract buyers and often justify a higher price point. As consumers, we all want tools to help us improve our productivity, increase our enjoyment and ease our pain points.

This process starts with tows of continuous fiber which are pulled from creels through a proprietary impregnation die where the fiber becomes melt impregnated with thermoplastic polymer.  A compounding extruder connected to the impregnation die functions as a melt pump feeding molten thermoplastic polymer into the process.  The melt impregnated fiber exits the die as continuous composite strands which are cooled using water and/or air until solidified.
