Avient
Avient Corp., a provider of specialized and sustainable material solutions, has announced the addition of new black colorants to its Renol™ Fiber Colorants portfolio. These colorants are designed to achieve intense and high-quality deep jet-black shades in polyester textiles, meeting the preferences of manufacturers in the automotive, apparel, and home décor industries who seek a more luxurious appearance.
Avient’s new deep black colorants aim to overcome the challenges by offering customization options to achieve specified deep black intensity in both virgin and recycled polyester grades. This versatility makes them suitable for a range of textile applications.
The Avient’s Renol Fiber Colorants portfolio comprises color concentrates specifically formulated for dyeing synthetic yarns using the spin-dyeing (dope-dying) process. This innovative dyeing method adds color during yarn manufacturing, reducing steps and energy consumption in the dyeing process. Additionally, it is an eco-conscious alternative as it uses no water, distinguishing it from traditional wet dyeing methods.
