This defines TPE as a thermoplastic polymer material.
This makes LSR a thermoset polymer material.
Color can help differentiate your product from the competition on a retail shelf, dazzle your customers with a variety of unique choices, or even add an element of safety to your design.

OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants
Near Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging
OnColor™ NIR Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for
recyclable packaging promotes correct sorting and
recycling of dark polymers.
This solution permits
black and dark color polymers to be detected by
near infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment,
enabling subsequent recycling.
Some
formuations used to color black and dark colored
packaging absorb the wavelengths so darker
polymers can’t be identified, inevitably keeping
some packaging out of recycling streams at
considerable cost to our environment.

Avient Launches Two New Sustainable Polymer Solutions for Medical and Pharmaceutical Applications During Pharmapack Europe 2021
Caption: New sustainable and compliant MEVOPUR™ products – color and additive masterbatches based on bio-derived polyethylene, and chemical foaming agents – are being introduced by Avient at Pharmapack Europe 2021.
New at Pharmapack are color and additive masterbatches based on a PE carrier that is manufactured using non-fossil feedstocks.

Avient is fully committed to increasing opportunities to expand the use of recycled polymers, helping customers to incorporate or increase PCR content into new and existing applications,” said Mayendran Pillay, Director of Marketing for Color & Additives, U.S. and Canada, at Avient.
As early adopters of our PCR Color Prediction Service, L’Oréal achieved consistent colors across various PCR grades in different countries, enabling them to launch with fewer color iterations and color trials, thereby reducing complexity and increasing speed.”
PLASTICS advances the priorities of our members, who are dedicated to investing in technologies that improve capabilities and advances in recycling and sustainability and providing essential products that allow for the protection and safety of our lives.

MAGIQ FIBER COLORANTS -
MASTERBATCH PORTFOLIO
BLACK
• Standard and special products with high
pigment concentrations and excellent
tinting strength
• MBs at lower concentrations designed
to meet specific customer needs
• Black MB tailored for special requirements, with
particular physical/rheological properties
• Optimal melt flow properties allow a good
mixture with the polymer matrix yielding
the best possible spinnability
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.
