TECHNICAL ANALYSES
• DSC: Thermal analyses to characterize polymers, additives
and colorants
• TGA: Thermogravimetric analysis to evaluate thermal stability,
plus inorganic pigment, and carbon black content in the
Masterbatch
• FT-IR: Infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of raw materials
• Incineration oven to determine inorganic content
• Melt Flow Tester to measure the Melt Flow Rate of MBs
and Polymers
• Filter test to measure the dispersion quality and aggregate
content of materials contained in the polymer matrix
• Intrinsic/Relative Viscosity of Masterbatches and polymers
• Moisture content in the liquid colorants, MBs and polymers
• UV-Visible spectrometry: instrumental evaluation of the color
on yarn to perform quality control, color matchings and recipes
adjustments
• Yarn testing to evaluate mechanical properties, abrasion,
dry heat, rubbing and other characteristics
• Our pilot spinning lines have state-of-the-art take-up winders
that spin up to 4,500 meters/minute.

and cautious customer sentiment
• Positive net price benefit:
o CAI - Pricing flat and raw
material deflation
o SEM - Pricing flat with
unfavorable mix related to
healthcare, more than offset
with raw material deflation
• Cost reductions driven by Clariant
