Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Technology UV and Light Blocking Additives UV Light Barrier for PET: ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™

Colorant Chromatics™ UV Laser Marking Technology UV and Light Blocking Additives ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™ UV Light Barrier for PET

After developing a deep understanding of the customer’s needs, Avient’s team quickly went to work to formulate a custom OnColor™ color and then added Cesa™ WithStand™ antimicrobial technology to make a single Smartbatch™ masterbatch that passed all of the product’s challenging requirements. This combined additive and color technology not only solved the color harmony challenge across all polymers used in the various components of the personal care device, but also accelerated testing because the Cesa WithStand antimicrobial material used had been pre-tested for polymeric integrity. THE IMPACT • FLEXIBILITY through wide range of color options • PROTECTION of product through antimicrobial technology • SPEED to MARKET through supplier expertise • COST REDUCTION through simplified processing • CONSISTENT performance through all-inclusive, one step masterbatch Each Smartbatch solution is custom formulated to incorporate color, antimicrobial technology and UV stability in one material, simplifying them manufacturing process and delivering consistent performance

UV stabilizers help protect polymers from the negative effects of sunlight and preserve aesthetic and mechnical properties. Our CESA™ additive solutions include UV stabilizers, UV stabilizer/color combination products, and UV stabilizer/flame retardant/color combination products when flame retardancy is needed. UV STABILIZER/COLOR COMBINATIONS • Combines color and UV stabilization for use in PP and PA • Ingredients screened with accelerated weather testing* • Excellent weather resistance properties (against chalking, embrittlement) • Long-term colorfastness and light stability UV STABILIZER/FLAME RETARDANT/ COLOR COMBINATIONS • Combines low halogen flame retardants, UV stabilizers and color for use in PP and PA • Ingredients screened with accelerated weather testing* • Excellent weather resistance properties (against chalking, embrittlement) • Compliant with local fire standards (e.g.: AFNOR M 2 in France, DIN 4102 B 2 – B 1 in Germany, UNI 8457 – 9174 C 1 in Italy, BKZ 5.2 in Switzerland, BS 5852.1990 CRIB 3-5 in UK)** • Standard portfolio available for PP injection molded applications APPLICATION BULLETIN * Laboratory weathering testing may not be determinative of all conditions of use; the end user must determine suitability of a product for its intended use ** Contact us for more information on regulatory compliance Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.
