ColorMatrix is part of the Color, Additives and Inks segment.

In the event of Buyer’s breach or failure to perform, Seller shall be entitled to (but is not required to) recover from Buyer, in addition to any other damages caused by such action: (i) in the case of Products produced specifically for Buyer or which reasonably cannot be resold by Seller to a third party, the price of such Products as quoted in Seller’s order confirmation; or (ii) in the case of Products which can be resold by Seller, damages equal to fifty percent (50%) of the price for the Products as quoted in Seller’s order confirmation, as liquidated damages. If (i) Buyer is in default of performance of its obligations towards Seller and fails to provide adequate assurance of Buyer’s performance before the date of scheduled delivery; or (ii) if Seller has reasonable doubts with respect to Buyer’s performance of its obligations and Buyer fails to provide to Seller adequate assurance of Buyer’s performance before the date of scheduled delivery and in any case within thirty (30) days of Seller’s demand for such assurance; or (iii) if Buyer becomes insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature, or goes into liquidation or any bankruptcy proceeding shall be instituted by or against Buyer or if a trustee or receiver or administrator is appointed for all or a substantial part of the assets of Buyer or if Buyer makes any assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (iv) in case of non-compliance of Buyer with any law, statute ordinance, regulation, code or standard (“Laws and Standards”), then Seller may by notice in writing to Buyer, without prejudice to any of its other rights: (a) demand return and take repossession of any delivered Products which have not been paid for and all costs relating to the recovery of the Products shall be for the account of Buyer; and/or (b) suspend its performance or terminate its order 9.

In addition, various rigid thermoplastics can have reinforcements and/or additives, such as fillers and fibers or color masterbatches, which not only can alter the resultant properties of the substrate, but also the surface chemistry.

These highly engineered formulations deliver comparable performance to traditional PA66 glass fiber- filled materials, plus the bio-derived solutions offer lower warpage and have excellent surface appearance and colorability.

Today, thanks to a development cooperation between a leading global supplier of additive and colorant masterbatches and a major producer of polyolefin thermoplastics, packaging film producers have the opportunity to select film- grade polypropylene for sealing layers that are highly transparent, can be efficiently processed and converted, and yield film that provides an excellent seal and yet still enables easy opening.
