PCC improves stiffness and impact in polypropylene and adds impact strength to rigid polyvinyl chloride for such applications as window profiles and siding.
Once encapsulated in the plastic, however, the compound pellets can easily be fed into an extruder or molding machine.
Minimize equipment wear by using hardened or abrasion-resistant materials and coatings for extruder barrels and screws and mold tools.

The TPEs are formulated without animal derivatives and are suitable for different Shore A durometer ranges.
They can be processed on standard injection-molding machines and extruders and recycled in the same recycling channels as conventional fossil-based polymers.

It works by injecting liquid color at high pressure into the polyester melt-flow
between the end of the extruder, or melt-pipe, and the spin head.
The extruder is
never contaminated with color which translates into faster, more efficient color
changeovers that make low volume and custom color production a reality.
LIQUID FIBER PRODUCT FEATURES
Multiple color production
• Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several
injection points can be added to enable multiple
color production at the same time on a single
extruder
Batch size flexibility
• Fiber producers can manufacture anything from
a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the
same simple process
Rapid color changes
• No extruder contamination and easy color-on,
color-off operation increases color change speed
Waste reduction
• Rapid color changes, precise metering and
the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste
during color changeovers
Continuous metering & long spin pack life
• High pigment and dye concentrations mean
fewer pack changes are required
• Where color is running low for larger volume
runs, low level metering sensors alert operators
and packs can be changed without disrupting
production
In-line IV adjustment
• Specialist additives are available to adjust
Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET applications
• These additives are available as single products,
or can be combined with color
to create a multi-functional formulation
Color design service
• ColorMatrix offers a dedicated color design
service to help shorten product development
cycles and enhance market agility
Liquid color processing
• Formulations are stable at temperatures up
to 60°C and retain good flow properties at
temperatures as low as 10°C
• These formulations can help lower yarn friction
and abrasion, and there is no fuming
or evaporation during production
COLORMATRIX
FLEXCART LIQUID
DOSING SYSTEMS

Thermoplastic
elastomers (TPEs) are an excellent solution.
Consider applicator designs that use TPEs to enable
your products to be applied more precisely.
TPEs are compatible with
most municipal recycle streams and
special grades can be formulated with
renewable content.

PTFE can be applied as a coating, extruded as a paste, or molded using compression molding or metal powder-processing techniques.
In contrast, rod extrusion would require very stable pigments due to the longer residence time in the extruder.
