Made with post-consumer recycled (PCR) polyolefin as a carrier resin, Rejoin PCR Masterbatch can enable a bottle or part to be manufactured from 100 percent PCR.
This means that at typical let-down ratios, the finished product would contain 3 to 5 percent non-recycled plastic.

Smartbatch™ FX for Paint Replacement
The replacement of paint on plastic parts with
molded-in color (MIC) has several benefits.
Since the color is incorporated into the plastic
matrix, it also prevents color peel-off and flaking.
Examples include automotive
dashboard elements, car bumpers, wheel covers,
appliance components, E&E housings, personal
care bottle caps and make-up containers.
