Avient ColorMatrix has pioneered the development of liquid
color dispersions since the 1970s and is now considered the
leading global innovator and supplier of liquid colorants for
thermoplastic and silicone applications.
THE MAGIC OF LIQUID COLOR
Liquid color is a uniform dispersion of color pigment or dye into a liquid carrier material.
HELPING YOU
WITH LIQUID
COLOR
There are many important technical factors
to consider when implementing new
technologies into new or existing injection
molding and extrusion processes.

For example, anthranilamide (ATA)-based acetaldehyde (AA) scavengers, commonly used in PET, can deposit on the molds during injection molding.
Avient has developed a "Heat Stability Protocol" to screen new additive solutions for their impact on color and NIAS through two full recycle loops at 100% recycled content.
This provides minimal effect on color shift and product safety.

Avient has introduced a special liquid color production system that could be a good fit if you are ordering small lots of colorant.
The service is available in North America for injection molding applications using polyolefin resins.
It also allows for batch-to-batch consistency to address color variations.
