LIQUID FIBER PRODUCT FEATURES
Multiple color production
• Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several
injection points can be added to enable multiple
color production at the same time on a single
extruder
Batch size flexibility
• Fiber producers can manufacture anything from
a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the
same simple process
Rapid color changes
• No extruder contamination and easy color-on,
color-off operation increases color change speed
Waste reduction
• Rapid color changes, precise metering and
the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste
during color changeovers
Continuous metering & long spin pack life
• High pigment and dye concentrations mean
fewer pack changes are required
• Where color is running low for larger volume
runs, low level metering sensors alert operators
and packs can be changed without disrupting
production
In-line IV adjustment
• Specialist additives are available to adjust
Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET applications
• These additives are available as single products,
or can be combined with color
to create a multi-functional formulation
Color design service
• ColorMatrix offers a dedicated color design
service to help shorten product development
cycles and enhance market agility
Liquid color processing
• Formulations are stable at temperatures up
to 60°C and retain good flow properties at
temperatures as low as 10°C
• These formulations can help lower yarn friction
and abrasion, and there is no fuming
or evaporation during production
COLORMATRIX
FLEXCART LIQUID
DOSING SYSTEMS
Designed to optimize
the benefits of liquid
colorant and additive
technologies, each
ColorMatrix™ FlexCart™
model is highly flexible,
and offers high-level
dosing accuracy and
controllability for all
injection molding and
extrusion applications.

Increased stresses during
processing localize in areas of changing geometry
due to non-uniform flow and differential cooling
rates.
Figure 3 also shows how the wall
thickness can suddenly change when outside
and inside rounds are not concentric.
The design of a rib
should be derived from the structural, flow, and
assembly requirements of the part.2

BOSSES
A boss, demonstrated in Figure 9, is a protruding
feature that allows for fastening components.
