Within Color, Additives and Inks (CAI), we purchased Germany-based Comptek, a producer of colorants, additives and formulations for products that utilize high- temperature, highly engineered thermoplastics. On November 30, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of COMPTEK Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH (Comptek), an innovative producer of colorants, additives and formulations for products that utilize high-temperature and highly engineered thermoplastics.

Learn the benefits of using TPEs that change color as temperature rises and falls TPEs can also incorporate a thermochromic additive that changes color depending on the temperature. This temperature-sensing color shift can differentiate a product and even provide a safety benefit by indicating temperature.

These voids eventually grow larger with aligned polymer fibrils extending between them (Figure 1), which manifests as a series of fine cracks or “crazes” in a planar array normal to the stress.4,5 The crazes continue to propagate and eventually rupture, leading to cracking and further stress concentration that inevitably causes brittle failure. The PK blends included unfilled, high impact (HI), and FR grades. Polymer Engineering & Science 2012, 53 (3), 453–467. 5.

This high-tech facility will allow our dedicated team to understand the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process, and to see how and where problems occur.
