Reusable concentrates significantly reduce time spent cleaning extrusion and injection molding equipment.

Single-step, co-extrusion process

Polymer Jacket Extrusion

Reusable concentrates significantly reduce time spent cleaning extrusion and injection molding equipment.

Key considerations should include addition ratio, screw design, extrusion or cycle speed and other factors, such as wall thickness and part design. 

Stan-Tone™ VC and VCP colorants provide good dispersion, uniformity, compatibility and cleanliness, while providing excellent color control for metering and distribution in rigid and flexible vinyl extrusion, injection molding and calendaring processes.

These materials are commonly used in injection molding, blow molding, film extrusion and other plastics processes.
