We offer an extremely wide range of colorants with tailor made solutions for the fiber production 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 have been developed for the coloration of thermoplastic polyester (except Polysynthren Yellow RL). They produce intensely colored, brilliant shades with outstanding fastness properties. The main applications are in PET fibers, filaments and bottles. Other applications are technical polymers, however pre-testing is required. Polysynthren Yellow RL is a colorant that has been developed for the coloration of polyamide, there it shows excellent fastness properties. |
Solvaperm
(former Sandoplast) | High-quality polymer soluble colorants that were developed for coloring polystyrene (PS) and its derivatives. They are in addition suitable for a wide range of other polymers including thermoplastic polyesters and polycarbonate. |
| Pigments | 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. |
These products are used for the coloring of all types of plastics including polyolefins, engineering polymers and others.
Many years of experience in coloring plastics have made Clariant a qualified and innovative worldwide partner in the search for new coloring solutions.
