THE IMPACT After the test, the manufacturer incorporated the Smartbatch™ four-feature formulation into its polymer compound.

Several of these perform on par with virgin PC in terms of tensile elongation, tensile strength, notched izod impact, flexural modulus and flexural strength.

The modification of the surface can be achieved without negative impact on the optical properties of the film.

The use of OnColor RC Environmental Black helps reduce environmental impact compared to color concentrates formulated with traditional carbon black.

THE IMPACT • FLEXIBILITY through wide range of color options • PROTECTION of product through antimicrobial technology • SPEED to MARKET through supplier expertise • COST REDUCTION through simplified processing • CONSISTENT performance through all-inclusive, one step masterbatch Each Smartbatch solution is custom formulated to incorporate color, antimicrobial technology and UV stability in one material, simplifying them manufacturing process and delivering consistent performance

They can reduce environmental impact compared to traditional carbon black formulations, allowing the use of less energy and water during the manufacturing process and thereby helping to reduce product carbon footprint (PCF).
