This solution permits black and dark color polymers to be detected by near-infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling subsequent recycling. Automatic sorting equipment in waste facilities relies on the reflectance of NIR wavelengths to identify polymers and properly sort packaging waste by plastic material. The formulation used enables black packaging of various polymers to be sorted into the correct polymer stream, and sent for recycling instead of landfill or incineration, which is a key requirement of the circular economy system.

Melting Point: Melting point is the temperature at which a crystalline polymer becomes a disordered liquid. 4. Important to note, semi-crystalline polymers feature crystalline regions dispersed within amorphous material. For amorphous polymers like PSU, the cooling rate in FFF is critical.

COLORANT CHROMATICS Colors and compounds for high-temperature polymers ™ We are the world’s leading specialist in the enhancement of high-performance polymers. Laser marking additives are added to polymers, such as fluoropolymers, that do not readily absorb the wavelength of laser light. Foamed polymers provide enhanced electrical properties, reduced cable weight, and material cost savings.

NYSE: POL), a leading global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Performance Products and Solutions (PP&S) business to is a premier provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: the time required to consummate the proposed divestiture; the satisfaction or waiver of conditions in the sale agreement; any material adverse changes in the business supporting the PP&S assets being sold; the ability to obtain required regulatory or other third-party approvals and consents and otherwise consummate the proposed divestiture; our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate and integrate acquisitions; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an ability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisitions and integration, working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals; information systems failures and cyberattacks; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.
