Formulations are heavy metal-free and manufactured using state-of-the-art pigment dispersion techniques that improve homogenization and color distribution during injection molding. Colorant Chromatics PEI Masterbatch - Colors for High Temperature Injection Molding

These silicone paste colorants are single-pigment or custom-made dispersions using a silicone carrier developed for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molding applications. They can be used in one-component and two-component Room Temperature Vulcanization (RTV) systems and two-part Liquid Injection Molding (LIM) systems.

POMMERLOCH, Luxembourg – May 25, 2020 – PolyOne recently collaborated with a leading global automotive OEM and its injection molder to eliminate paint from a new vehicle’s interior. Suitable for standard injection molding machinery, Smartbatch FX reduces the cost per part by 30 percent or more compared to painted parts.

With improved bushings, IŞILSAN was able to provide its customers with a more competitive product than ever before – while also making improvements in its own injection-molding operations: The company, which does its own injection molding, found that the polyamide and LubriOne™ combination generated a 50% reduction in scrap rates.
