Colorant Chromatics™ PEI Masterbatch Colors for High-Temperature Injection Molding Applications Colorant Chromatics™ PEI colorants are specifically designed to color polyetherimide (PEI) resin used in high-temperature injection molding applications. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Consistent coloring and improved homogenization with the polymer offer more efficient processing and waste reduction • Opaque PEI masterbatches available with shorter lead times and a range of readily available standard colors • Minimum order quantities as low as 5kg (10 lbs) for improved inventory control • Robust colorant formulations mean no disruptions to existing molding processes, allowing manufacturers to bring products to market faster and without investing in new machinery FEATURES AND COLORS PEI colorants are manufactured using 100% prime virgin PEI resin. Color specifications are controlled using the L,a,b color system.

TPEs made from styrenic block copolymers (SBC) such as Kraton® D or G Polymers have special properties that can enhance the success of a finished part. Here are a few points to consider when designing part molds for styrene-ethylene/butylenestyrene polymer based TPEs (SEBS TPEs), or styrene-butadiene-styrene polymer based TPEs (SBS TPEs): In parts that fill from a thin wall to a thick section, the polymer may break away from the wall as it enters the thick section.
