HOW STAT-TECH MATERIAL MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN AUTOMOTIVE
ADAS SENSORS, CAMERAS AND ECUS
Protection from static buildup – Stat-Tech
material reduces static buildup with surface
resistivity between 1.0E+2 ohms and 1.0E+6 ohms,
minimizing sparks from damaging nearby electrical
components, especially those near fuel storage.
High performance without secondary
operations – When using Stat-Tech material,
painting and vacuum metallization are not
necessary in order to achieve the performance you
need from your ADAS systems, therefore cutting
down on the processing times and costs associated
with using aluminum.

Avient colorants for TPU
applications are specifically designed to reach
high quality standards.
ONCOLOR™ COLORANTS FOR
WIRE & CABLE
Key Features
• A color range for unfilled TPU, providing good
opacity at low addition levels
• Includes colors for filled, non-halogen flame
retardant TPUs that are designed to enhance
color strength
• The same color concentrate reference can be
used for both unfilled and filled TPU resin,
minimizing inventory
• Custom solutions can be formulated for
charging cables to help maintain performance
including good weather and hydrolysis
resistance as well as providing high color
strength for bright colors

• Bonding performance - strong chemical bond
to polypropylene, polyethylene,
and polyamide
• Process flexibility - grades can be both
injection molded and extruded
• Easy to color - can be colored at the machine
• Reduced production steps - some grades do
not require pre-drying
• Low VOC/FOG - OnFlex HT™ has been externally
tested to VDA 278 and is proven to help satisfy
vehicle interior air quality (VIAQ) regulatory
requirements
• Single source supply – we can streamline your
supply chain with the ability to provide polymer
colorants, engineered thermoplastics, and
thermoplastic elastomers from a single source
• Global support - we provide production,
technical, and commercial support in locations
convenient to your operations, including North
America, Europe, and Asia

ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ LX Light Blocking Additive for PET
A bright white, light blocking technology for UHT dairy packaging
ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ LX Light Blocking Additive
provides high-performance light blocking
technology and protection for liquid dairy products
in monolayer polyethylene (PET) bottles.
Available primarily in North America, the Lactra
LX technology is especially effective in ultra-high
temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products which have
a longer shelf life and need greater protection due to
ambient storage conditions.
Traditionally, UHT liquid dairy products have
been packaged in laminated paperboard cartons,
pouches, or multilayer high-density polyethylene
(HDPE) and PET bottles.
