OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants
Near Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging
OnColor™ NIR Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for
recyclable packaging promotes correct sorting and
recycling of dark polymers.
Some
formuations used to color black and dark colored
packaging absorb the wavelengths so darker
polymers can’t be identified, inevitably keeping
some packaging out of recycling streams at
considerable cost to our environment.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized sortable black and dark colors
upon request
• Solid or liquid form
• Suitable for PET, polyolefins and PCR
• Processes: extrusion, injection, thermoforming
• Coloration strength & dispersion quality, similar
to conventional black masterbatch
• Very good processability
• Competitive Let-Down Ratio (LDR), depending
on applicable standards, part-geometry, added
ingredients
• Food contact approval documentation available
upon request
