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.

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. OnColor NIR Sortable Colorants have been formulated to ensure black and dark packaging is detectable by current waste sorting equipment.

Colors Liquid colorants will produce transparent, translucent and tinted color. Solid colorants are better for generating highly opaque colors—including metallic, pearlescent and glow-in-the-dark colors—or patterns and effects, like marbling, wood or camouflage.

Mesa™ Stain Colorants provide an appealing, long-lasting layer of color on concrete surfaces. These translucent stains react with the surface to create a natural look, with patterns and colors that accent the dark and light mottling or marbling of the concrete. Once applied, Mesa Stain Colorants are resistant to chipping, peeling, discoloration or fading.

currently produces color and additive concentrates and engineered polymer solutions at the answers customers' desire for a domestic supplier able to offer expertise in color, engineered materials and thermoplastic elastomers," said PolyOne opened a new facility in Pune in 2014, initially focused on the production of colorant and additive concentrates to serve end markets such as transportation, electronics & electrical, healthcare, wire & cable, and packaging. 

When using multiple ink colors with hot-split inks, be sure to butt-register, rather than overlay ink on ink. If ink overlay occurs, ink/color strength will be impaired when the transfer is heat fused onto the garment. Remember to continue to keep the transfer paper in plastic wrapping or in a temperature controlled oven, as moisture will invariably be absorbed by the paper between each printed color.

It offers a practical way to improve your product’s surface look and feel, adds the possibility for custom color and sensory effects, and works with most substrates. TPEs are available in a wide array of colors and special effects that will amplify their sensory qualities and contribute to brand identity and shelf appeal. Specific TPE colors or textures can serve as a strategic branding tool and can replace expensive secondary painting or adhesion operations to achieve a similar look.
