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 Designed to optimize the benefits of liquid colorant and additive technologies, each ColorMatrix™ FlexCart™ model is highly flexible, and offers high-level dosing accuracy and controllability for all injection molding and extrusion applications.

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.
