ONCOLOR™ COLORANTS FOR
WIRE & CABLE
Key Features
• A color range for unfilled TPU, providing good
opacity at low addition levels
• Includes colors for filled, non-halogen flame
retardant TPUs that are designed to enhance
color strength
• The same color concentrate reference can be
used for both unfilled and filled TPU resin,
minimizing inventory
• Custom solutions can be formulated for
charging cables to help maintain performance
including good weather and hydrolysis
resistance as well as providing high color
strength for bright colors
• Compared to regular colorants, OnColor™
Colorants for wire and cable can help reduce
dosing levels and maximize the original
properties of the TPU material

THE CHALLENGE
Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers,
a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to
create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced
quality, durability and aesthetics.
The use of 2K
(two-component) molding—in which the base resin is injected
and allowed to set up for a short time, and then is overmolded
by injecting the TPE—streamlines the manufacturing process.
It required a high temperature
and a strong injection pressure to bond to the acrylonitrile-
butadienestyrene (ABS) substrate, which caused the resin
to deform.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/PolyOne%25202012%2520Annual%2520Report.pdf
Monomers make up the majority of the variable
cost of manufacturing the base resin.
The major types of thermoplastics
include polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester and a range of
specialized engineering resins.
The distribution of polymer resin is also highly competitive.

These materials combine the performance
of select engineering resins with reinforcing additives, such as carbon powder, carbon fiber, nickel-coated carbon fiber and
stainless steel fiber, for low-to-high levels of conductivity depending upon application requirements.

* A reverse temperature profile is important to obtain optimum conductive properties.
Other key processing parameters are slow injection speeds
and low back pressures.
** Avoid processing for a resin-rich surface.
