TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS
Select Rapid Color Prototyping Technology
includes:
Select Color Cell
• Color scanning or matching
• Creation of color plaques
Online Software
• Formulation and price generator
• Web-based processor
Automated Dispenser
• Globally standard base colors
• Consistent production from recipes
HOW IT WORKS
Select allows you to:
• Instantaneously create a new color using
your own standards, spectrophotometer or
colorimeter data, or the software’s
built-in design tools
• Produce small quantities of color masterbatch
for use in validating your color match
• Combine advanced liquid colorants,
cloud-access software and automated
dispensing technology
• Carry out color modeling and rapid iteration
Select also helps you:
• Choose the right color by providing a quick
and cost effective way to model, sample, and
test color options
• Facilitate prototyping and variation testing

MAGIQ FIBER COLORANTS
- MASTERBATCH
Commercialized under our global brand MagiQ Fiber Colorants & Additives,
which includes Magenta Master Fibers, IQAP, OnColor and OnCap, our
Masterbatch fiber colorants include black, white, single pigment dispersion
and custom colors, as well as additives and special products.
Our technical laboratories and production processes are completely
integrated and equipped with state of the art technology focused
on minimizing waste products.
TECHNICAL ANALYSES
• DSC: Thermal analyses to characterize polymers, additives
and colorants
• TGA: Thermogravimetric analysis to evaluate thermal stability,
plus inorganic pigment, and carbon black content in the
Masterbatch
• FT-IR: Infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of raw materials
• Incineration oven to determine inorganic content
• Melt Flow Tester to measure the Melt Flow Rate of MBs
and Polymers
• Filter test to measure the dispersion quality and aggregate
content of materials contained in the polymer matrix
• Intrinsic/Relative Viscosity of Masterbatches and polymers
• Moisture content in the liquid colorants, MBs and polymers
• UV-Visible spectrometry: instrumental evaluation of the color
on yarn to perform quality control, color matchings and recipes
adjustments
• Yarn testing to evaluate mechanical properties, abrasion,
dry heat, rubbing and other characteristics
• Our pilot spinning lines have state-of-the-art take-up winders
that spin up to 4,500 meters/minute.

While BBIT possesses higher thermal
stability (ca. 300�C) than ZPT (Td,5% loss = 260�C), it also
becomes increasingly volatile at temperatures in excess of
175�C (Figure S2).
All samples were
tested in duplicate (n = 2); the bar graph represents the average,
and the open circles represent the log10-transformed raw data.
