Healthcare device OEM benefitted from single source supplier for pre-colored solutions, Trilliant™ HC thermoplastics, and regulatory support

The use of multiple materials, color, and certain additives can add to the recycling complexity or limit recyclability.

The use of multiple materials, color, and certain additives can add to the recycling complexity or limit recyclability.

It also minimizes the color and haze challenges due to inconsistencies in rPET quality, in fact, bottles produced with ColorMatrix™ Amosorb™ 4020R, in combination with rPET content, show minimal colour degradation when processed through existing recycle streams.

Colorant Chromatics™ PEI Masterbatch Colors for High-Temperature Injection Molding Applications Colorant Chromatics™ PEI colorants are specifically designed to color polyetherimide (PEI) resin used in high-temperature injection molding applications. Color specifications are controlled using the L,a,b color system. Ten standard colors are available.

These colorants are designed for a wide variety of applications, in line with RAL, IEC 304, BS 6746C and AFNOR (Association Française de Normalisation) color requirements. Color and Additive Combinations Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants and Additives Combines custom or standard colors with a performance-enhancing or functional additive in one pellet. Main RAL colors correspond to BS and/or Afnor colors.

Colorant Chromatics™ PSU, PES and PPSU Masterbatches Colors for High-Temperature Applications Colorant Chromatics™ PSU/PES/PPSU colorants are designed to color polysulfone (PSU), polyethersulfone (PES), and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) resins used in high-temperature injection molding and extrusion applications. Colorant Chromatics PSU, PES and PPSU colorants are designed specifically for use in these resins to help boost color consistency and streamline product development for increased speed to market. Color specifications are controlled using the L,a,b color system.
