Fiber-specific flame retardant systems for PP, PES and PA (nylon) fibers that can be combined with color Additive concentrates that offer reheating properties to PES and PA fibers when exposed to a light source Customized light stabilizer systems for PP, PES and PA textiles subjected to sunlight ; product guidance from our experts

All Colorant Chromatics Reinforced Formulations are based on ETFE, E-CTFE, FEP, PFA, MFA, THV, PVDF, PEI, PEEK, PES, PSU and PPSU resins.  PES/PSU/PPSU Colorants: Colorant Chromatics™

Evoluscend™ is effective across a range of high-temperature polymers, including PEEK, PPSU, PES, PSU, PEI, LCP, and PPS, with a maximum service temperature exceeding 150°C. PES / PSU / PPSU Colorants

New at Pharmapack are color and additive masterbatches based on a PE carrier that is manufactured using non-fossil feedstocks. MEVOPUR pre-colored formulations based on bio-derived PE are also being introduced today for customers who prefer ready-to-use solutions. 

Most Versaflex™, Dynaflex™ and OnFlex™ materials (and Versalloy™ TPV alloys) are suitable for two-shot or insert molding onto a PP (and in some cases, PE) substrate. Dry colors have also been used but may require more material and time to perform color changes. 23 The use of a polyethylene (PE) carrier may adversely effect adhesion to the substrate for some overmolding applications.
