Black & White
STANDARD AND CUSTOM
BLACK CONCENTRATES
• High pigment concentrations for high tinting
strength
• Lower concentrations to meet specific
customer needs
• Tailored for special requirements, with specific
physical/rheological properties
STANDARD AND CUSTOM WHITE
CONCENTRATES
• TiO2 based with excellent opacifying or tinting
strength
• Optical white to improve the surface whiteness
and/or brighteness of end articles
• Regulatory compliance support
• Optimal melt flow properties allow a good
mixture with the polymer matrix yielding
the best possible spinnability
• Full pigment dispersion ensures maximum
CPF/Spinning pack life
• Carriers: PET, PBT, PA 6, PA 66, PP, and others
• Continuous filament spinning, including
fine denier (POY, FDY, HOY, bi-component yarns)
• Long and short spinning staple fiber
• Spunbond
SINGLE PIGMENT DISPERSIONS (SPDS)
We have extensive experience in using advanced
technologies and special raw materials, which make
our SPDs suitable for more demanding applications.

These free radicals rapidly react with
other polymer chains, propagating the degradation
of the polymer and resulting in yellowing, black
specks, loss of melt strength, and mechanical
properties in most resins.
