ColorMatrix Showcases Liquid Color and Additive Technologies at Arabplast 2013

Wednesday 09. January 2013 - ColorMatrix, a subsidiary of PolyOne Corporation and a leading innovator of liquid color and additives for plastics, will highlight its extensive liquid color and additive technologies portfolio at Arabplast 2013 (Hall 4, Stand 4C124) in Dubai, January 7-10.

ColorMatrix liquid color and additive dispersions help customers meet aesthetic, performance, sustainability and profitability goals by optimizing polymer compatibility for smooth, efficient and clean processing..
“The Persian Gulf states represent a growing force in the global plastics industry,” explains William Ravenna, managing director Europe, Middle East and Africa, ColorMatrix. “Arabplast is a great opportunity to showcase our extensive capabilities and proven track record in the region.”
Formulated for a wide range of polymer types including polyolefin injection molding and PET packaging applications, ColorMatrix liquid colorants and additives deliver manufacturing efficiencies through:
Highly accurate dosing – Customers can eliminate waste and reduce material consumption using ColorMatrix proprietary volumetric liquid dosing systems with addition rates as low as 0.001%.
Reduced energy consumption – Liquid colorants and additives are energy efficient to process because they do not require melting prior to mixing with the resin.
Higher load concentrates – Processors can improve sustainability and cost efficiency with higher letdown ratios that require less colorant or additive, minimizing raw material consumption.
Rapid color development – Patent-pending DosiXpress is an innovative color-matching system that can speed time to market using advanced software and base liquid color dispersions to create precise color formulations in a matter of minutes, streamlining product development and speeding up commercialization.
ColorMatrix additive technologies can improve the aesthetics and performance of injection molded products, and include:
Clearview clarifiers – Enhances optics, recyclability and manufacturing efficiency to deliver reduced haze and increased polymer recyclability while reducing cooling time and product shrinkage.
NuAge nucleating agents – Enables production cycle time improvements and energy savings by increasing the speed of polymer crystallization, while also delivering physical property enhancements.
