Moreover, they can be combined with color into Smartbatch™ concentrates to deliver both the part’s target color and laser marking performance.
The activation changes the molecular structure of these additives, causing a color change that provides the vivid contrast of laser marking.
The mark can be white or dark in color.

On occasion, Joule RHB products can also be used in bottle polymer destined for water applications, but this usage decision depends on the application tolerance to color which must be determined via marketing specialists prior to any trials.
The proprietary ColorMatrix technology has been shown to deliver superior energy saving at bottle blowing whilst at the same time imparting an attractive light blue-shaded color to the preforms (and bottles) without contributing to bottle haze.
This is important because it should prevent any undesirable product agglomeration (which would produce sub-standard reheat performance). • Re-establishment of the toner package will be required to achieve proper resin color.

THE IMPACT By replacing traditional sealing materials with non- halogenated OnFlex S HF TPE, Schneider-Electric NB (Strömfors) was able to offer its customers several significant benefits: • For flexibility in processing, OnFlex S HF TPEs can be supplied in either natural or pre-colored grades.
Natural grades can be colored during processing with compatible products from Avient’s OnColor™ color concentrate line. • The non-halogenated solution has a density 0.4 g/cm3 less than a traditional halogenated material, and this density advantage makes it price competitive with the traditional solution. • High-flow properties of OnFlex S HF TPE allow the gaskets to be overmolded in multi-cavity tools (up to 12 cavities per tool).
Additional advantages of these TPEs include: • Highly flame retardant without the inclusion of halogens • Low temperature flexibility • Excellent processability • Good abrasion resistance • Excellent colorability • Operating temperatures from -50° C to +100° C • All grades meet UL94-V0 at 1.5 mm • All grades pass IEC 60695-2-12 Glow Wire Flammability Index (GWFI) at 960°C
