Homepage // News Center // Avient Launches Artisan™ High-Gloss, Pre-Colored Thermoplastics for Paint Replacement Parts molded from Artisan pre-colored thermoplastics offer excellent scratch resistance compared to painted plastic, which minimizes the appearance of scratches. These thermoplastics bring two added benefits: because there is no painting process required, energy use is reduced and VOCs are eliminated.

Capillary film can be used to achieve greater thickness with one pass. Be sure to review the product bulletin prior to testing and that you’re getting 320F at the ink film on the shirt when fusing in your dryer. Then check the ink film temperature through the dryer with a thermo probe or a temperature strip.

Homepage // News Center // New Artisan™ ABS Thermoplastic Solution from Avient Features Metallic Effect for Electronics Brands By using Artisan pre-colored ABS thermoplastics, molders are able to produce parts with a brilliant, high-gloss metallic effect without any secondary processing. Compared with a traditional painting process, injection-molded Artisan materials have lower energy requirements and reduced VOC emissions, making these thermoplastics a more sustainable solution.

At Chinaplas, we will demonstrate our expertise to meet these trends and complex challenges, including our annual color forecasting guide and customized colorants and additives, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), and specialty engineered materials for uses in a wide range of industries.”   Versaflex™ TF Adhesive TPE for Textile Fabrics: a cost-effective alternative to TPU adhesive films and traditional glues, free of plasticizers, with low VOC content, OEKO-TEX 100-2 compliance, and excellent washability up to 60°C, combining strong and seamless adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics with outstanding elastic recovery for high wearing comfort in target applications such as functional sports attire, fitness apparel, and underwear OnForce™ Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics: developed for automotive foot pedals, providing high dimensional stability, rigidity and flexibility, cyclic fatigue strength, and long-term creep resistance as well as excellent chemical and UV resistance, shows good colorability (including silver) and ease of processing
