Recycled Content &
Recyclability
We offer color concentrates that use post-consumer
recycled (PCR) polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene
(PS) as carrier resin.
We offer near-infrared
(NIR) black and dark colorants for polypropylene
and polyester that help detect and sort the plastic
into the relevant polymer stream.

Rigid thermoplastics include both commodity thermoplastics
and engineering thermoplastics, such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), high impact polystyrene
(HIPS), polycarbonate (PC), acrynitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET),
poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO),
polyamide (PA), PC/ABS blend and PPO/PS blend etc..
