New fibre solutions from PolyOne

PolyOne introduced its advanced fibre solutions including a full range of colourant materials and cutting-edge technologies.

OnColor Fiber Colorant Solutions offer environmental benefits with superior spinning performance to help manufacturers enhance their speed to market. This series of solutions includes a superior black microfibre concentrate with outstanding dispersion, and can be combined with UV blockers to improve production efficiency.

ColorMatrix Fiber Colorant Solutions feature a breakthrough liquid melt extrusion spin colouring technology for polyester fibre. Liquid melt-extrusion colour permits late-stage colour injection, reducing waste and changeover times in the manufacturing process, and offering producers the flexibility to create as little as 50kg of fibre within the same simple process.

The technology also allows several injection points on a single spinning line, so that multiple colours can be produced at the same time. Coupled with easy colour-on, colour-off operations to increase colour change speed, the result is higher efficiency and productivity.

Gary Fielding, global marketing director, Colour, Additives and Inks, said: “Our advanced and sustainable solutions continue to move the textile and fibre manufacturing industry forward.

“We are not only offering high-tech solutions and helping manufacturers to achieve a more sustainable development, but also using our expertise to help brands catch the latest colour trends. For example, our InVisiO colour and design services offer insights and direction that inspire creativity in the use of colourants and special effects. This can help brands to obtain deeper insights into what today’s markets demand and how to leverage future trends.”
