PRODUCT BULLETIN ColorMatrix™ Liquid Dispersion for Extrusion Blow Molding Avient’s ColorMatrix™ LCX liquid color products are the latest advancement in technology to deliver stable pigment dispersions for the extrusion blow molding (EBM) process. ColorMatrix LCX dispersions are designed to minimize and eliminate screw slip, streaking and specking, all while generating cost-to-color savings through processing efficiencies that include: • Handling efficiency – bulk distribution, individual feed stations • Inventory reduction – less inventory and required floor space • Process efficiency – improved color change times KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly concentrated pigment dispersions specifically for EBM processing • Provides dimensional stability by utilizing more resin instead of fillers • Reduces costs through handling and processing efficiencies • Customization available for design and product handling • Can be formulated in combination with a wide selection of additive technologies to meet performance needs MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS ColorMatrix LCX Liquid Dispersions for EBM processing are well suited for the following: • Monolayer applications • LDR less than 3% • Large volume whites and blacks • Tints 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

OnColor™ Lux Colorants contain phosphorescent pigments that absorb and store ultraviolet light and slowly emit the energy, producing a long-lasting glow. APPLICATIONS • Automotive, consumer products, E&E products • PP, ABS, PC co-polyester, PA6, PA 66, PA12, and others on request KEY BENEFITS • Up to 10 hours glow depending on resin, activation energy, and pigment loading • Unlimited repetition of energy accumulation and emission process • Excellent temperature and chemical stability • Excellent weathering fastness and lightfastness • Limited influence on mechanical properties • Formulated with low-concern substances Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.

However, pigments used to color plastic parts can cause warping or shrinking, leading to dosing inaccuracy or even malfunctioning healthcare devices. The Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives portfolio includes nucleating agents that neutralize the negative effect pigments can have on the mechanical properties of the finished plastic part.

Too often, however, the laser-sensitive pigments and colors incorporated into the polymers selected for these applications cannot keep pace with the higher machine speeds, leading to poor legibility and contrast. 

Unique survival characteristics such as bioluminescence become a major inspiration, combined with unexpectedly colorful camouflage and fluorescent pigments that feature high impact hues found under the sea.

Water-based dispersions With light-stable pigments that reduce the risk of color fading

The heat destroys many pigments used in engineering thermoplastics.

Each shade is created from color pigments and particles, ranging from almond shells and reflective flake to synthetic fibers and pearlescents.
