A COMPLETE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO A full range of Colorant Chromatics technologies includes: • Color and/or additive concentrates • Specialty compounds including conductive, carbon fiber, CNT, filled, glass, carbon, minerals • Additive concentrates including specialty compounds such as UV, acid scavengers, lubricants/mold release, and foaming agents • � Pigment dispersions • �� Inks and additives for processors of high- performance plastics and fluoropolymers HIGH- TEMPERATURE SOLUTIONS/ INJECTION MOLDING Minimum order quantities for color concentrates and compounds for high-performance polymers are as low as 10 lbs. (5kg), enabling you to manage inventory better and order only what you need. High-temperature polymers (HTP) processed include: LCP, PEEK, PAEK, PEKEKK, PEI, PES, PSU, PPSU, and PPS FLUOROPOLYMERS Colorant Chromatics has extensive experience in selecting the best pigments and additives for optimal performance under demanding circumstances. Evoluscend is effective across a range of high- temperature polymers, including PEEK, PPSU, PES, PSU, PEI, LCP, and PPS, with a maximum service temperature exceeding 150°C. * Manufactured without intentionally added PFAS and without PTFE CHEMICAL FOAMING ADDITIVES Colorant Chromatics chemical foaming solutions for fluoropolymer wire insulation can reduce part density while enhancing the stability and efficiency of the manufacturing process without the need to invest in additional equipment for physical foaming with blowing agents.

Initially available in overmolding grades compatible with PP, all grades are formulated to achieve comparable performance to traditional TPEs.

High Strength Synthetic Fibers Outperform Steel Our Products add • Strength On an equivalent weight basis, fibers like Aramid, LCP, and PBO are 5-10 times stronger than steel. • Chemical Resistance High performance fibers resist soiling and the absorption of water, solvents, and other chemicals. • Abrasion Resistance HMPE as a jacketing material, is a great example of the excellent abrasion resistance of high performance fibers. • Fatigue Resistance Aramid Fibers have exceptional bending and tensile fatigue resistance. • Safer Handling Because synthetic fibers are flexible and weigh less than steel, they are easier to work with, lead to fewer weight-related injuries and completely eliminates fish hooks. • Dampening Synthetic fiber cables have excellent shock absorption and load dampening properties.

L’utilisation de cette solution colorante dans des emballages rigides en PP avec un taux d’intégration inférieur ou égal à 4% permettra à l’emballage d’être détecté et orienté vers le flux d’emballages en PP avec des performances satisfaisantes. La solution colorante noire CESA® IR PE 94000828 de Avient Corporation utilisée pour colorer des emballages rigides en PP est une alternative aux solutions colorantes non détectables. En effet, les emballages rigides en PP intégrant 4% de solution colorante noire CESA® IR PE 94000828 sont détectés et orientés vers le flux PP avec les mêmes performances (qualité, taux de captage) que les autres emballages rigides ménagers en PP.
