New super black colors also feature a 30 to 60 percent lower addition rate compared with conventional black masterbatch. PHOTO CAPTION: PolyOne launches new Line of super black colorants with intense dark colors and lower dosage rates.

This not only caused a high scrap rate, but also led to frequent interruptions in the automated process so that the mold and machine could be cleaned. In addition to a lower material cost than silicone, the custom TPE offered cycle time efficiencies, lower part weight due to its lower specific gravity, and reduced scrap rates.

In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs. These savings resulted from Versalloy’s lower specific gravity (0.88 compared to 0.95) and a 50% reduction in scrap rate.

Melt processing of SmartHeat RHC products is carried out at typical PET processing conditions at recommended dose rates, which range from .02% to .075%. Care must be taken to optimize the bottle blowing process due to the increased heat-up rate of the preform, to take advantage of the many benefits offered by this product range.
