Coloring When overmolding TPEs, care should be taken when considering color concentrates. Coloring When overmolding TPEs, care should be taken when considering color concentrates. Problem: Non-uniform color Poor dispersion

It is widely used to manufacture films, bags, trays, bottles, and containers, and it has excellent overall properties such as impact and tensile strength, clarity, processability, colorability, and durability. Some key issues with PCR include degraded mechanical properties, inconsistent and gray coloration, unpleasant odors, or missing food contact approvals. A dedicated team is able to scientifically investigate details of the recycling process, understand the degradation and behavior of polymers, and develop the right additive and color masterbatches to increase the performance of PCRs and guarantee high recyclability of the final article.

HANDLING AND USAGE RATES Triple A is a dispersion which can be supplied individually or in combination with other ColorMatrix colorant and additive technologies. Universally compatible and easily combined with ColorMatrix color formulations. The additive has no impact on either color or clarity of containers and is easily combined with ColorMatrix color formulations.

The PRT product line facilitates precise toner coloration through superior dispersion, ease of handling and dosing when compared to traditional powders. They are designed to be used separately but at the same time to control b* and a* color producing maximum L* color when used at very low dosing levels in the final product. This will generate a non-homogeneous dispersion, resulting in sub-standard coloration quality in the PET production process.

THE IMPACT By replacing traditional sealing materials with non- halogenated OnFlex S HF TPE, Schneider-Electric NB (Strömfors) was able to offer its customers several significant benefits: • For flexibility in processing, OnFlex S HF TPEs can be supplied in either natural or pre-colored grades. Natural grades can be colored during processing with compatible products from Avient’s OnColor™ color concentrate line Additional advantages of these TPEs include: • Highly flame retardant without the inclusion of halogens • Low temperature flexibility • Excellent processability • Good abrasion resistance • Excellent colorability • Operating temperatures from -50° C to +100° C • All grades meet UL94-V0 at 1.5 mm • All grades pass IEC 60695-2-12 Glow Wire Flammability Index (GWFI) at 960°C
