OnColor™ IR Sortable Black Infrared Sortable Black for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ Infrared Sortable Black for Recyclable Packaging is a black colorant created without the addition of carbon black pigment. OnColor IR Sortable Black is available in a range of blacks, and can also be customized to support the needs of brand owners, allowing black packaging to remain an option for current products. In the presence of carbon black, currently used to color most black packaging, all the wavelengths are absorbed and black polymers can’t be identified, inevitably keeping black packaging out of recycling streams at considerable cost to our environment.

These free radicals rapidly react with other polymer chains, propagating the degradation of the polymer and resulting in yellowing, black specks, loss of melt strength, and mechanical properties in most resins. CESA NOX – STANDARD OFFERINGS CESA Nox additives can be used in combination with other CESA masterbatches, and formulations can be customized for most applications.

Substance Safety Summary SUBSTANCE: Carbon Black GENERAL STATEMENT Carbon black (subtypes are acetylene black, channel black, furnace black, lamp black and thermal black) is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products such as FCC tar, coal tar, ethylene cracking tar, and a small amount from vegetable oil. IARC’s listing of carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen is based on laboratory rat studies only; studies on carbon black production workers have not shown a link between carbon black exposure and cancer. Consumer exposure to carbon black is negligible.
