  • Liquid Vs Pellet Color Is a Critical Feature in Consumer Packaging That Enables Brands to Create Differentiation and Recognizable Identity on Shelf
    Plastic Colorant Options 101: Liquid vs Pellet Color is a critical feature in consumer packaging that enables brands to create differentiation and recognizable identity on shelf. Major brands and their packaging supply partners are rethinking their colorant strategy. How do you find the right value-added color supplier? Most color suppliers have a fixed portfolio of either liquid colorants or traditional pellet colorants, thereby leaving processors confused about choosing the best colorant technology to accomplish their goals. Both technologies have advantages and disadvantages. Below, is a quick overview of both liquid and traditional pellet options followed by two case studies in which color- processing challenges were overcome using a new pelletized color technology solution. Liquid vs. Pellet: Liquid Colorant for manufacturing plastic products: Ad vantages: Challenges: - Effective at extremely low use rates - Specialized pumps are required - Suited for tints - Several pigment and additive limitations. - Good color distribution - Production interruptions caused by container - Less history than pellet concentrates changeover - Coloring cost can be lower than - Screw slippage at high use rates conventional pellet - Limited application with engineered polymers - Not suitable for extrusion blow molding of HDPE bottles - Increased housekeeping issues related to spill cleanup and storage of dedicated hoses - Limited shelf life due to product separation that ends up increasing costs and wasted color - Issues with sustainability due to wasted/residual

  • Determination of Polymer Stabilizers
    FLUORESCENCE APPLICATIONS ANALYSIS OF POLYMER STABILIZERS BY FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY USING THE MODEL LS-50 WITH THE FRONT SURFACE ACCESSORY ABSTRACT Quantitative analysis of a polymer UV stabilizer has been carried out using the PerkinElmer Model LS-50 Luminescence Spectrometer (L225-0105) fitted with the front surface accessory (5212-3130). The relationship between fluorescence emission and stabilizer concentration was found to be linear over the range observed for both native and extruded polymer samples. INTRODUCTION Many polymers such as polypropylene, polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride contain stabilizers to increase resistance to ultraviolet light-induced degradation. These additives can be relatively expensive, and the concentration required for effective UV stabilization can be quite critical. It is therefore desirable to monitor the concentration of the stabilizer in the parent polymer rather than relying on the calculation of the stabilizer dosing concentration based on the concentrations of the starting materials. This method allows for checking of homogeneity as well as the absolute concentration of the stabilizer. METHOD Polymer samples were supplied as native and extruded clear sheets. These were cut into 4 cm square sections and inserted into the front surface accessory using a piece of non-fluorescent card to keep the samples flat against the accessory window. Concentration of stabilizer was given as 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mole %. RESULTS Data was collected as emission spectra, 390 nm - 550 nm, excitation wavelength 370 nm, slits 10/10 nm, scan speed 120 nm/min. The built-in emission attenuator (4 %T) was selected to decrease the assay sensitivity, as the samples were initially too strong for the extremely sensitive LS-50.

Abstract Liquid chemical products are marketed by a number of companies for stabilizing pavement base and subgrade soils. If effective, these products could be used as alternatives for treating sulfate-rich soils, which are susceptible to excessive heaving when treated with traditional, calcium-based stabilizers like lime, cement, and fly ash. However, the chemical composition, stabilizing mechanisms, and performance of these liquid products are not well understood. The primary objective of this study was to investigate and identify the mechanisms by which clay soils are modified or altered by these liquid chemical agents.

  • ABSTRACT KOLELL, HANNAH JOY. Hydrophobic
    ABSTRACT KOLELL, HANNAH JOY. Hydrophobic Disperse and Polymeric Dyes for the Coloration of UHMWPE Medical Sutures. (Under the direction of Dr. Harold S. Freeman). Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has extremely beneficial properties, including being high strength at a relatively low weight. However, its high crystallinity and very hydrophobic nature make coloration from a dyebath difficult. Attempts at surface modification of the polymer to increase dyeability often adversely affect the desired high-performance properties. UHMWPE has applications in the medical field, including as sutures, and for surgical purposes coloration at sufficient visibility levels is of high importance. Currently, there is one FDA certified dye, D&C Violet 2, that has the ability to dye UHMWPE sutures. Thus, having additional dyes is of interest as long as the resulting color is not red. To achieve this goal, the present study pertained to the modification of various FDA certified dyes to make them suitable for dyeing PE sutures. Specifically, dyes such as C.I. Solvent Yellow 18 and C.I. Solvent Green 3 (D&C Green 6) were modified with C-4 to C-6 alkyl groups and after structure confirmation through HPLC, UV-Vis, NMR, and HR-MS, the resulting 6 dyes were tested for their ability to dye UHMWPE fibers. The dyeing study showed visibly darker fibers from the modified dye structures in comparison to the D&C Violet 2 prototype. Overall the C-4 substituted dyes showed darker coloration of the fibers and in general showed lower dye release levels during extractions, making them the preferred choices for PE sutures.
