In order to have a concentrate recognized by UL,
the following conditions must be met:
• the color concentrate producer must be
recognized by UL
• the polymer, generic or specific, must be
recognized as well
• the recognition of the material combination
(base resin + color concentrate) must be listed
in the QMSQ2 file of the concentrate producer
• the specification limits set in the QMQS2 file
must be respected if the UL 94 recognition is to
apply to the final plastic part
Avient has a wide range of color and cost options
available to provide maximum flexibility.

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
• Compared to regular colorants, OnColor™
Colorants for wire and cable can help reduce
dosing levels and maximize the original
properties of the TPU material

Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.
The inclusion of these additives
can help a cable to pass flame resistance tests,
even if the resin originally used is not flame
retardant
• Cesa™ Light Additives: UV light stabilizers that
improve weather resistance and provide long
term protection against weather degradation
• Semi-conductive TPU formulations to
enhance cable performance
• Cesa™ Laser Additives: Includes laser-marking
additives for durable cable marking.
They
provide excellent contrast for dark or light
colors with high resistance to external friction
or chemicals
• Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants &
Additives: Combines colorants and
performance enhancing additives in a single
formulation for easier dosing. e.g., long-term
light stabilization additive and custom color
in one pellet.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SELECTED VERSAFLEX PF TACK LAYER FORMULATIONS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Versaflex™ PF formulations are specially
developed for the manufacture of co-extruded
surface protective films that apply easily, maintain
tack with minimal build, peel smoothly and
remove completely with little-to-no residue or
ghosting.
In addition to simplifying processing,
Versaflex PF formulations reduce volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions during
manufacturing.
BENEFITS OF VERSAFLEX PF FOR
SURFACE PROTECTIVE FILMS:
• Customizable tack
• Single-step manufacturing process (co-
extrusion)
• Low volatile organic compound (VOC)
emissions during manufacturing
• Eliminates secondary coating and drying
operations
• Eliminates hazardous liquid chemicals
compared to solvent systems
• Reduces converting costs versus coating
• Reduces energy consumption
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Versaflex PF formulations, customizable
based on desired level of tack, are co-extruded
with protective films to provide just the right
amount of protection during the fabrication,
assembly, shipment, storage and installation of
finished goods in many industries and end-use
applications including:
• Optical films and display panels for consumer
electronics
• Home appliances
• Construction and building materials
• Furniture and cabinetry
• Automotive and other transportation
