PRODUCT BULLETIN
GEL MIGRATION PERFORMANCE
ECCOH LSFOH 6153/6154 UV grades offer greater gel migration performance compared to alternative
ECCOH grades.
Gel migration is measured using a quantitative internal method
* 6151 can be supplied with UV protection
* Values concluded from the simulation of materials rheological data and modelling standard extrusion tooling
Pressure: can affect extruder performance, higher pressure gives a lower output at the same rpm
Shear rate: has a relation with self-cleaning of the walls and mixing conditions
Stress: can affect the surface of the product, less stress gives a better surface aspect

CONCENTRATE SELECTION
Omnicolor colorants are generally
selected because of their versatility
where a wide range of polymers are
processed and their availability for
sale in small quantities.
The hiding power of
the formulations does differ, and
should be tested in all opaque
and filled polymers before starting
production.
The range of world-
class services includes:
COLOR TECHNOLOGY
Custom matching, saturated colors &
special effects to fill market niches and
eliminate secondary operations.
