In our previous blog: "Challenges with recycling carbon black master batches", we briefly highlighted the importance of recycling and sorting plastics. The separation and collection of processes should to be improved to increase the amount of black and dark-colored plastics recycled.
Processors of plastic raw materials note that the demand for products based on NIR-black instead of carbon black is increasing. One of the options is the use of NIR (near-infrared)-detectable and sortable thermoplastic masterbatch technology.
Added value to a sustainable future
With an NIR-detectable masterbatch, black and dark-coloured plastic articles can be sorted and recycled. NIR-sensor technology creates masterbatches that are 100% food approved, sortable and recyclable.
Solutions created with NIR-masterbatch has the same mechanical properties as products made by carbon black-based products. With the NIR-detectable masterbatch, your company takes the next step towards a more sustainable future with this sortable and recyclable solution.
Main benefits
The NIR sensor technology has several benefits:
Masterbatch for carbon-free black and dark-colored plastic products that can be recycled and reused
It makes plastic articles detectable on NIR detectors
It is suitable for all processing methods (injection, blow molding, compression, extrusion)
There is no difference in technical properties
It enables laser markable final articles
It is suitable for food approved plastic products
Produced according to ISO 9001, 14000, 22000, 13485
