PRODUCT BULLETIN Stan-Tone™ Colorants Epoxy Paste Colorants (EPX) Stan-Tone™ EPX epoxy paste colorants are select organic and inorganic pigments dispersed in a Bisphenol A undiluted epoxy resin with an epoxide equivalent of 185.

It is the same polymer resin utilized in the plastic bottle industry.

COLORANTS & ADDITIVES FOR HEALTHCARE Essential polymer solutions for critical healthcare applications WHEN MATERIAL EXPERTISE IS CRITICAL AESTHETIC APPEAL Regulatory compliant and approved masterbatch colors use custom polymer colorants to achieve any shade SPECIAL EFFECTS Enhance your brand and stand apart with pearlescent, metallic, iridescent, fluorescent or thermo-chromatic effects SOLID TO LIQUID SOLUTIONS Choose from a full range of available color solutions, from liquid color to solid product forms ANTIMICROBIALS Efficacy performance and regulatory requirements are met in a wide range of resins compatible with Withstand™ antimicrobial technology SURFACE ENERGY MODIFICATION Additive technologies such as low retention, hydrophobic, lubricious, light diffusion, or anti-stat provide desired surface manipulation Materials used for today’s medical devices, parts and pharmaceutical packaging contribute significantly to performance and, in turn, to a patient’s health and well-being.

The liquid is then extruded through bushings and are coated (sized) to help bundle the filaments and prepare the fibers for composite resin interface.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Wide range of base resins are used for functional additives including BOPET, APET, PE, PP and PA

This digital tool can determine the color possibilities or limitations – before sample development – to help optimize the ratio of virgin resin to PCR and elevate aesthetic needs. 

Body Adhesive This adhesive is a solvent containing the parent resin of the parts to be bonded . The layout should be balanced and even, and should position on non-cosmetic surfaces .2 Balanced ejection is critical for Gravi-Tech filled resins. Melt Temperature The viscosity of Gravi-Tech materials is higher than with NEAT resins due to the amount of filler content .

A second test was also carried out, which aimed to demonstrate how recycled material can be combined with vPET to produce bottles that are very similar to bottles produced with 100% virgin resin.
