Colorants for Masterbatch Producers and Compounders

We offer an extremely wide range of colorants with tailor made solutions for masterbatches and compounds covering different types of products:

Dyes Hostasol Fluorescent colorants suitable for PS, SAN, ABS, PC, PMMA and U-PVC. Some possibilities exist for the coloration of various grades of polyamide and in thermoplastic polyester applications.

Polysynthren Polymer-soluble colorants for the coloration of thermoplastic polyester (except Polysynthren Yellow RL). They provide intensely colored, brilliant shades with outstanding fastness properties. The main applications are PET fibers, filaments and bottles. Polysynthrens are also applied in other technical polymers, however pre-testing is required.
Polysynthren Yellow RL is a colorant that has been developed for the coloration of polyamide, showing excellent fastness properties.

Solvaperm
(former Sandoplast) High-quality polymer soluble colorants for coloring polystyrene (PS) and its derivatives. They are also suitable for a wide range of other polymers including thermoplastic polyesters and polycarbonate.

Pigments DrizPearls Selected PV Fast and Graphtol pigments in a dust free, free flowing form for applications in polyolefins. They offer many processing advantages and potential cost saving opportunities.

Graphtol These pigment powders are a range of classic and novel organic chemistries specifically selected for plastics applications. Graphtol pigments present a wide range of shades and technical properties which offer the user economical coloring solutions.

PV Fast High performance organic pigments with excellent heat resistance, high light fastness and very good bleeding fastness properties. These pigments are designed for their ease of dispersion in thermoplastic materials and are specifically suitable for fiber, thin wall and critical technical applications.

Pigment Preparations Hostacryl Pigment preparations based on 50% single pigment dispersion with excellent fastness properties and on an acrylic carrier. They provide optimum pigment dispersion in a free-flowing, low dusting form. Also well suitable for coloring thin layered acrylics.

Hostaprint Pigment preparations based on 50% single pigment dispersion on a vinyl chloride/acetate co-polymer providing excellent dispersion in a free-flowing, low dusting form. They are recommended for the mass coloration of plasticized (P) and unplasticized (U) PVC, suitable for printing applications on PVC and Polyurethane.

Hostasin Organic pigment dispersions based on an oxidation resistant polyolefin copolymer carrier that is fully compatible with natural rubber and common synthetic rubbers. They are in a dust-free, free-flowing form and the optimized pigment dispersion ensures maximum color development and reproducibility.

These products are used for the coloring of all types of plastics including polyolefins, PVC, rubber, styrenics, engineering polymers, etc.

Many years of experience in coloring plastics make Clariant to a qualified and innovative worldwide partner in the search for new coloring solutions.
