International. Clariant announced the addition of a new family to its range of dyes for plastics, with the introduction of PVC Telasperse for plasticized and non-plasticized PVC. The new family currently comprises seven colors: one blue, three red and three yellow, as well as two blacks and one white. The company also announced that they will add more colors in the coming months.
Until now, plasticized PVC mixers and processors had a limited selection of global suppliers of high-quality pigment preparations. Clariant's entry into this important market will provide an additional welcome to your options.
Telasperse PVC products are free flowing, powder pigment preparations, completely dispersed with approximately 40-50% organic pigment. If requested, they can also be supplied in the form of pellets. They are based on a PVC containing a phthalate-free plasticizer; stabilization is lead-free.
"With Telasperse PVC pigment preparations, we are opening up new opportunities for PVC compound manufacturers and customers who manufacture products such as films and sheets," says Philippe Lazerme, Director of Strategic Marketing Plastics at Clariant BU Pigments. Preparations are also suitable for cables, profiles and floors.
"The new pigment preparations keep processing costs low thanks to their ease of incorporation into PVC and their high concentration of pigments, while their powder-free form makes them safe to process," adds Stefan Wannemacher, Technical Marketing Director at Clariant BU Pigments. "The quality of the pigments is consistently high, ensuring excellent reproducibility in the finished products. Especially important for film producers, the excellent pigment dispersion provides a smooth, speck-free surface appearance, while its high chromaticism ensures a bright tone."
