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. This solution permits black and dark color polymers to be detected by near infrared (NIR) automatic sorting equipment, enabling subsequent recycling. 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.

Suppliers and OEMs looking for a broader color palette will also benefit from masterbatches. While most antistatic parts do not have good bonding surfaces for paint, masterbatches allow for the inclusion of colorants to achieve molded-in color without the need for paint.  These should include level and duration of antistatic performance, color requirements, and time on dealership lots and showrooms.

Additionally, recycle-friendly toners can offset yellowing while improving color consistency across various feedstock. Recycled PET often exhibits yellowing or color variations due to degradation during the recycling process. To combat this, color-stable toners and additives can be used to maintain the clarity and color consistency of rPET.
