They are suitable for use with a wide range of polymers at the addition rates recommended in the table below: These low let-down ratios effectively reduce the overall cost to color.
FLAME RETARDANT POLYMERS It is possible to use Omnicolor in flame retardant materials, but due to their high additive content only a limited range of colors such as gray or beige is possible.
The addition of pigment and carrier could also affect the UL rating.

Working with Reiter-HG Geiger, a sophisticated injection molding processor specializing in demanding applications, the OEM team began their search for a sustainable material to replace lead, one that would effectively shield X-rays up to 140 keV while offering additional manufacturing benefits.
In addition, excellent dispersion of the metallic filler eliminated “hot spots” where radiation could leak out.
In addition, the company reduced the health and environmental impact of its equipment by using an RoHS-compliant, eco-conscious and equally effective alternative to lead.
