OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants Near-Infrared Sortable Black and Dark Colorants for Recyclable Packaging OnColor™ NIR Sortable Colorants for recyclable black and dark packaging promotes correct sorting and recycling of dark polymers. 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. OnColor NIR Sortable Colorants have been formulated to ensure black and dark packaging is detectable by current waste sorting equipment.

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.

OnColor™ Naturals Colorants

Mesa™ Stain Colorants provide an appealing, long-lasting layer of color on concrete surfaces. These translucent stains react with the surface to create a natural look, with patterns and colors that accent the dark and light mottling or marbling of the concrete. Once applied, Mesa Stain Colorants are resistant to chipping, peeling, discoloration or fading.
