It’s difficult to minimize the tradeoffs between thermal stability, foaming control and high processing temperatures when applying wire insulation,” explained Barto du Plessis, general manager, PolyOne Colorant Chromatics. Thermal Stability: Excellent heat resistance from 340 - 380°C supports effective homogenization of the foaming agent with high-performance polymers

    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses FOR MEDIA USE ONLY: To download a high-resolution image, please click here: FOR MEDIA USE ONLY

Enhancing polymer materials with colorants can: • Differentiate products • Reinforce branding • Evoke emotions • Add value to a commodity item • Promote safety Creative and effective use of polymer colorants, which come in liquid and solid forms, can have an impact all along the value chain. COMPLEMENTARY SOLUTIONS SMART COLORANTS: MAKING THE MOST OF COLOR SOLID COLORANTS LIQUID COLORANTS Available based on many different carrier resins Clean, easy handling + feeding Designed + engineered for compatible polymer matrix More effective for low letdown ratios Highly accurate dispensing Can be processed at lower temperatures COLOR STRATEGY BEST PRACTICES EXPANDING COLORANT OPTIONS Avoid limiting yourself to either solid or liquid forms, and focus on the requirements of the end application instead • Widen your materials and applications possibilities • Achieve the desired effect for each part • Optimize productivity and system costs by matching the right colorant type to the project ADDING SPECIAL EFFECTS Further differentiate and add value to your products • Examples include: metallic, pearlescent, chrome look, edge glow, sparkle/glitter, neon/fluorescent look, woodgrain/stone/camouflage SELECTING + SIZING COLORANT EQUIPMENT Both liquid and solid colorants can be used in the same production facility • Use the right colorant to significantly impact production and offer improvements in terms of efficiency and quality
