Avient Corporation unveiled its new liquid toner technology for polycarbonate (PC) resins, ColorMatrix Optica for PC.
ColorMatrix Optica for PC toners offers exceptional visual clarity, color consistency, and color dispersion in transparent PC resins, according to Avient.
They help to retain transparent properties and can prevent undesirable color shifts toward yellows and greens, according to Avient.
These new toners are formulated without heavy metal or restricted ingredients and can be used at lower doses in comparison to alternatives like pigment and solid masterbatches, according to Avient.
“As an industry leader in solving complex material science problems, we are proud to bring this cutting-edge liquid color toner solution for polycarbonate to the market,” said Bob Lee, marketing director, Color & Additives Asia at Avient. “ColorMatrix Optica for PC builds on a proven portfolio of liquid toners, and meets the growing market need for a cost-effective solution.”
PC is a popular material for everything from automotive interiors and appliances to consumer goods and electronics, thanks to its versatile characteristics and recyclability, according to Avient.
It can and often does replace more traditional construction materials, such as glass and acrylic, in applications where transparency and clarity are important, according to Avient.
