Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics
High-Gloss Nylon (PA6) Formulations
High-performing, durable products are at the
forefront of consumer demands.
Available in a wide range of customizable colors,
these impact-modified nylon formulations
eliminate secondary painting processes—unlike
traditional materials such as painted plastics or
metals—providing the added manufacturing and
sustainability benefits of reducing energy use and
removing VOC emissions.

These characteristics offer
manufacturers a high-performing, cost-effective and
more eco-conscious alternative to nylon (PA66 and
PA6) and acetal (POM).
The
production of PK emits up to 61 percent less carbon
dioxide (CO2) than nylon and POM.
When processing,
these formulations have similar shrink to nylons and
POM, set up quickly, and have short cycle times.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2025-01/SEM MCCB Phase Barrier Application Bulletin.pdf
These materials outperform nylon 6
and flexible PVC with better flexibility, lower moisture absorption, better insulation properties, and they are
RoHS compliant.
Easier to install – Our TPEs are more flexible than
nylon and flexible PVC, which makes the MCCB
easier to install, service and inspect.
Good insulation between phases – Our materials
deliver dielectric properties better than nylon and
equivalent to flexible PVC, helping to prevent arc
flash across the phases.
