Artisan™ AR7300 PRE-COLORED FORMULATIONS PROCESSING GUIDE Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics Artisan™ AR7300 pre-colored thermoplastics are customized ABS formulations to help manufacturers achieve brilliant and high-gloss metallic effect, excellent chemical resistance, and scratch resistance. HDPE is not recommended for purging as it can cause delamination or lead to black specks. Can cause issues with color variation, surface defects, loss of properties and may affect the weatherability.

Homepage // News Center // New Black Colorants Available from Avient to Help Achieve High Jetness in Polyester Textiles New Renol™ Black Colorants Deep Black provide intense black shades with excellent light fastness to polyester textiles. The new deep black colorants are part of the Renol Fiber Colorants portfolio, a range of color concentrates specially formulated for dyeing synthetic yarns using the spin-dyeing (dope-dying) process.

Homepage // News Center // New Super Black Textile Colorants Meet Global Demands for Intense, Deep Effects New super black colors also feature a 30 to 60 percent lower addition rate compared with conventional black masterbatch. PHOTO CAPTION: PolyOne launches new Line of super black colorants with intense dark colors and lower dosage rates.

Coloring SBC TPEs have inherently superior color than most other TPEs. Filled opaque formulations are more difficult to color in deep intense colors, but will produce good pastel colors. High levels of regrind are better tolerated in black materials.
