OnColor™ Infrared Sortable Black for Recyclable Packaging contain no carbon black pigment, permitting the automatic optical sorting sensors used in many waste management plants to detect black polymers and sort waste into the correct recycling streams. PolyOne’s new black colorants address this issue by eliminating carbon black and enabling black plastics to be sensed, sorted, and recycled efficiently.

HDPE is not recommended for purging as it can cause delamination or lead to black specks. Runners • Full-round runners or modified trapezoid runners are the best designs. • Half-round runners are not recommended. • Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” pattern) are recommended. • Runner diameters should not be less than the part thickness. • Runner diameter should be 1.5x the part thickness. • Step each 90° bend in the system down in size. • Place vents at each 90° intersection and vent to atmosphere. • Hot runner molds are acceptable and should be sized by the manufacturer.
