OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants

PRODUCT BULLETIN OnColor™ Recovered Black OnColor™ Recovered Black is a black color concentrate that utilizes polymer material recyclate including pigments recovered from separate manufacturing processes. Used as a general purpose black, it is a versatile and cost-effective solution suitable for applications where a basic black colorant is required. An effective means of repurposing recyclate, OnColor R3 Recovered Black keeps waste from being sent to a landfill by reprocessing it into usable colorant.
