  • Dispersions of Color Pigments
    ORS dispersions of color pigments COL In the rubber and plastic industries as well as related fields, most colorants used are classified as “pigments.” Pigments are defined as those colorants that are insoluble in the medium in which they are used. This is in contrast to “dyes” that are colorants designed to be soluble in the final substrate. Most color pigments are manufactured to an extremely fine particle size. This ultimate particle size is somewhat irrelevant to dispersion in rubber and similar materials. This is because pigments in everyday life do not exist as individual particles but as aggregates and agglomerates of particles. Good dispersion of color pigments depends on the breaking up of these agglomerates into as small a size as required by product needs, both performance and economics. This Solutions will discuss the various forms of color dispersions available from Akrochem. Each has both attributes (ultimate reduction in particle size; ease of handling) as well as negatives (cost; possibly more difficult handling) that need to be weighed when deciding on a color pigment dispersion. rubber-bound colorants The most popular form of color dispersion in the rubber industry is rubber-bound colorants. These are made by mixing high concentrations of color pigments into a rubber carrier. An internal mixer or a rubber mill is used to generate sufficient shear to reduce the agglomerate size and predisperse the pigment into the rubber. This form allows easy handling; clean, easy weigh-up; no fly-loss of pigments; production equipment and personnel stay significantly cleaner compared to powders. Colored end products are more consistent with fewer “streaks” and “dots” of colorants that are common with powdered pigments (especially organic pigments).

  • Color Masterbatches for Polyamide 6 Fibers. Optimization of Compounding and Spinning Processes
    XXVI cycle XXVI cycle Doctoral School in Materials Science and Engineering Color masterbatches for polyamide 6 fibers. Optimization of compounding and spinning processes. Physical-chemical characterization of industrial products. Mauro Buccella April 2014 XXVI cycle XXVI cycle Doctoral School in Materials Science and Engineering Color masterbatches for polyamide 6 fibers. Optimization of compounding and spinning processes. Physical-chemical characterization of industrial products. Mauro Buccella Academic Tutors: Prof. Luca Fambri Ing. Andrea Dorigato, PhD Industrial Tutor: Dott. Mauro Caldara April 2014 Abstract ABSTRACT In the last years the coloration industry has become increasingly important because it strongly influences the market of the plastic materials. The request of objects with new and particular colors, sometimes with imperceptible differences, combined with high physical and chemical performances, has made the coloration technology more sophisticated and complex. Moreover, the recent legislations (i.e. REACH standard) suggest the use of products with lower human health impact. Therefore, a continuous research and development of new colorants and technologies is needed, in order to obtain environmental friendly manufacturing processes and market products. As concerns the carpet sector, the solution dyed process of the fibers is industrially preferable rather than the coloration through batch of raw yarns. This is because the first process involves the production of monoconcentrated color masterbatches, their mixing in order to obtain the final color masterbatch and its addition into the polymer matrix during fiber spinning. On the other hand, the production of carpet from raw fibers shows higher environmental impact because the dyeing baths contain colorants and additives environmentally harmful and difficult to remove with water treatments.

  • Review the Current Flame Retardant Systems for Polyamide 6, to Develop And
    Review the Current Flame Retardant Systems for Polyamide 6, to Develop and Produce a Novel ‘Masterbatch’ suitable for melt spinning filaments; by means of TGA analysis and vertical flame tests in association with Americhem Europe. A dissertation submitted to The University of Manchester for the degree of Textile Science and Technology MSc by Research in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences. Robert Alexander Laurent 2015 School of Materials I hereby confirm that the work submitted is my own and that appropriate credit has been given where references have been made to the work of others. While registered for the Masters award, I have not been a registered candidate for another award at any other University. Abstract: Polyamide 6 is popular engineering polymer used for many applications including filament production via melt spinning. Currently there is no market leading masterbatch suitable for addition at the melt spinning stage used for imparting flame retardant properties. Flaming drips are a common problem and new tighter regulations are causing new additives to be assessed and greater consideration to be taken when developing such product. Flame retardant additives were assessed for dispersion, thermal gravimetric analysis, melt spinning performance, mechanical properties retention and efficacy under DIN 4102-B2 testing. A masterbatch was developed in association with Americhem Europe, masterbatch supplier for the thermoplastic industry in Europe. Although further investigation into certain aspects of the development are necessary to optimise the product. 2 Copyright Statement: i.
