The new color and additive concentrates and tailored ready-to-use formulations are made with bio-based polycarbonate, ABS, or styrenic polymers. Along with pre-colored formulations for users who prefer ready-to-use solutions, they are more sustainable drop-in replacements for fossil-based materials. These bio-based materials can be processed on standard injection-molding machines and extruders and can be recycled in the same recycling channels as conventional fossil-based polymers.

Idea No Gambling on a Successful Molded-In Color Transition Read

Keeps black packaging within the Circular Economy and out of landfills. OnColor™ IR Sortable Black Colorants eliminate carbon black to allow reclaimed black plastics, such as those found in food trays, to be detected and properly recycled by automated sorters. To support the transition to molded-in-color (MIC) parts, the customer specified Avient’s metallic-effect Smartbatch™ FX masterbatch colorants for two PC/ABS side panels on the center console of a compact SUV.

PRODUCT BULLETIN Stan-Tone™ Colorants Urethane Paste Colorants (PEP & ET) Stan-Tone™ PEP polyester urethane paste colorants are select organic and inorganic pigments dispersed in diethylene glycol adipate. These colorants are compatible with polyester systems, reacting to become part of the final cured product. These colorants are highly compatible with polyether systems, reacting to become part of the final cured product.

When slush molding a door panel, vinyl powder is added to a hot mold, which melts the powder to a 1 mm-thick coating, and the mold then rotates so that the melted material can fill the entire cavity. The supplier found that the vinyl powders it was using clumped in the corners of the mold during processing rather than filling the mold, causing air entrapment and generating unacceptable amounts of scrap. Further, the team developed a custom colorant that matched the automaker’s interior color specs, and then developed the final product so that the armrest could be molded in color.
