Colorant Chromatics color concentrates are offered in various pigment strengths and resin viscosities to address the engineering requirements of the fluoropolymer processor.

Pigment loadings and resin viscosities are selected to optimize pigment dispersion in the final polymer mix. Concentrate selection for extrusion applications depends on the processor's extruder L/D ratio, screw design, extrusion speed and other design factors such as wall thickness.

Color concentrate selection must take into account the following extrusion design requirements for the following typical applications:

• Primary Wire Insulation

  • Desired opacity or translucency of the insulation
  • Wall thickness
  • Conductor size and color
  • Line speeds
  • Processor screw design
  • Insulation electrical requirements

• Film, Tubing and Profile Shapes

  • Desired opacity or translucency
  • Wall thickness
  • Extrusion dwell time and processing temperatures

• Wire and Cable Jacketing

  • Desired opacity or translucency
  • Wall thickness
  • Processor screw design

• Injection Molding

  • Desired opacity or translucency
  • Part size and wall thickness

Colorant Chromatics color concentrates and related products are designed to deliver consistent and uniform dispersion. State of the art compounding equipment is used to produce color concentrate products.
