Color and Additives Solutions Overview Colorant and additives overview and capabilities UV Light Barrier for PET: ColorMatrix™ Ultimate™

OnColor™ Colorants for Wire & Cable are non-halogenated color concentrates, particularly useful to color non-halogenated flame retardant formulations. Non-phthalate PVC colorants are also available.  They can also be color coated.

Bio-based Polymer Colorants and Additives Mevopur™ Healthcare Colorants and Formulations: color concentrates and ready-to-use formulations to add color and enhance the performance of medical plastics, developed with raw materials pre-tested to ISO, USP, EP, and ICH Q3D protocols Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint  

Another color-related challenge is the multitude of different color streams of recycled PET, which can limit the uses for recycled colored PET. Fortunately, there is new technology that can analyze the color of the PET or rPET to be used for a new product and predict the range of colors possible for the end product. In many instances, these colored bottles may offer an outlet to utilize some of the less transparent rPET feedstock as the colorant can mask the original recyclate color.

SmartHeat RHC improves preform and bottle color, clarity, mechanical strength, and processability.   For applications requiring color or toning, SmartHeat RHC is also available as SmartHeat Tint, a range of recycle-friendly colors for preforms and bottles or SmartHeat Tone, toners suitable for use in rPET.
