Special effect colour has been introduced because of the growing
concentrates use of recycled materials, whose storage and specification may result in unusually high Wilson Color has introduced a new range of levels of moisture. The benefits of PE8999, colour concentrates for injection moulding, according to Cabot, include reducing or extrusion, blow moulding and calendering. preventing lacing and windows in films, The concentrates cover a range of special surface defects in mouldings, porosity and die decorative effects, including granite, paper, build-up. The masterbatch can allow higher textile, metallic, fluorescent and proportions of recycled material to be used in phosphorescent effects, and are expected to some applications where the current maximum level is restricted by moisture appeal particularly to the consumer goods, problems. PE8999 is a concentrated product cosmetics, garden furniture, and stationery markets. The company developed a new used at various addition levels, depending on manufacturing technique to ensure even moisture content. Every 1% added absorbs up to 1500 ppm of moisture, producing a distribution throughout the concentrate. chemical bond which is irreversible at all Contact: Wilson Color SA, 2 rue Melville temperatures used in plastics processing, says Wilson, B-5330, Assesse, Belgium.
