Learn the benefits of using TPEs that change color as temperature rises and falls TPEs can also incorporate a thermochromic additive that changes color depending on the temperature. TPEs are easy to tint with a wide range of colors and effects, including thermochromatic pigments.

THE MAGIC OF LIQUID COLOR Liquid color is a uniform dispersion of color pigment or dye into a liquid carrier material.

On occasion, Joule RHB products can also be used in bottle polymer destined for water applications, but this usage decision depends on the application tolerance to color which must be determined via marketing specialists prior to any trials. The additive is not soluble in MEG, but is very thermally heat stable and at the low ppm addition levels commonly used has no measurable impact on the polymer process other than that coming from the blue tint introduced into the polymer. Re-establishment of the toner package will be required to achieve proper resin color.

The lightness (L*) values, green–red (a*) opponent values, and blue–yellow (b*) opponent values defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) color space were used to identify differences in color, and the yellowness index (YI) was measured in accordance with ASTM D1925. The loading of ZPT was reduced from 1500 to 1250, and 750 ppm, and a blue tint colorant masterbatch was added at two levels, 3% and 6% by weight of the final compound.
