PET color concentrates

Eight new standard PET tint color concentrates are available, based on the proprietary Pennacle(TM) PET carrier resin technology. The co. says the colors have been formulated with FDA-approved ingredients and provide vibrant, bold, transparent colors with a recommended letdown ratio of 100:1. Color chips and sample material are immediately available. The concentrates technology was developed to address many common problems that blow molders and sheet extruders experience when coloring PET resin. Designed for optimum performance on both single-stage and two-stage blow-molding equipment, sheet extrusion and thermoforming equipment, the colorants are made with a solid, modified polyester carrier resin produced as uniform, free-flowing pellets that require no pre-drying before processing. The colorant chemistries have been carefully selected and tested for chemical compatibility. The small uniform pellets can be used with most conventional color feeding systems. A wide range of custom colors and effects can be achieved.
