We serve multiple industries from healthcare and transportation to packaging and beyond with colorants and additives for thermoplastics, TPEs, high temperature resins, and fluoropolymers along with dispersions for thermosets. Our incredibly diverse product portfolio of specialty formulated, high-performance polymer materials are manufactured using thermoplastic resins and elastomers combined with advanced polymer additives, reinforcements, fillers, colorants and/or bio-based materials.

Chemical Recycling: Sometimes referred to as advanced or molecular recycling in the plastics world, chemical recycling of composites involves breaking down the composite’s matrix resin into molecular components by pyrolysis or solvolysis, allowing for the recovery of its fiber reinforcement. To make composites more circular, explore a variety of fibers and a range of resins.

An enforced gap analysis of technical documentation may show that current plastic resin grades or masterbatches do not have adequate change control, and there are insufficient change agreements with suppliers For higher risk IVD, the gap analysis may also reveal that current resin grades or masterbatches don’t have sufficient regulatory assumptions, e.g., they are not verified for elemental impurities (ICH Q3D) 

The service is available in North America for injection molding applications using polyolefin resins.   There are certain manufacturing limitations that prevent the use of some special effects, select resin types, or specific high color tolerances.

Featured at CAMX is a new formulation of Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites made from greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET) resin. Performance is on par with standard PET formulations using virgin resin. 

Colorant Chromatics™ PVDF Processing Aids are specially formulated to assist with the extrusion of PVDF resins for wire & cable or filament applications. Check the availability of UL 94 recognized masterbatches for your base resin.

Rejoin™ PCR Colorants – allows 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging by using PCR as a carrier resin. PCR Color Prediction Service – winner of the 2023 Re|focus Sustainable Innovation in Design Award and a finalist for the 2023 Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE) Product Technology Innovation of the Year Award, this digital service supports PCR resin coloration by illustrating the color possibilities or limitations of certain PCR material before sample development to help simplify the overall decision-making process for brand owners and technical colorists.  

Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Color Prediction Service is a digital service using sophisticated technology to help illustrate the color possibilities or limitations of certain types of PCR for customers, including polyolefins and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins. The antioxidant can be added to PCR content early in the recycling process or incorporated in virgin resin to protect against degradation in multiple recycling loops.
