This additive is particularly suitable in packaging for ultra-high temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products, as these types of products have a longer shelf life, making them more susceptible to light-induced oxidation due to ambient storage conditions.

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. COLORMATRIX™ FLEXCART™ AND FLEXONE™ LIQUID METERING EQUIPMENT Designed to optimize the benefits of liquid colorant and additive technologies, ColorMatrix FlexCart and FlexOne systems are highly flexible, and offer high-level metering accuracy and controllability for all injection molding and extrusion applications. Avient’s liquid metering equipment can achieve continuous, consistent and accurate dosing—even at very low addition rates.

THE SOLUTION The Avient technical team leveraged expertise in liquid formulations with the science of dispersion to develop Excelite™ IM, a CFA solution that targeted automotive injection molding applications and would help address the issues of this tier-1 molder. These particles were prevented from flocculating and re-agglomerating in the liquid matrix. Excelite IM Chemical Foaming Additives: • The only patented liquid CFA in North America and Europe • Supported with customized dosing equipment and technical assistance • Typically contains 70% active CFA content, dispersed in proprietary liquid vehicles LIQUID CFAs PROVIDE A TOP TIER-1 MOLDER WITH A CONSISTENT SOLUTION © 2020, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 Interested in learning about how Avient can help your business?

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. These highly concentrated liquid formulations deliver a consistent finish with repeatable and dependable processing. 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.
