This can be
achieved by tumble mixing or by the
use of concentrate metering devices.
Calculate using Let Down Percentage:
Cost/lb of Concentrate x (Let Down Percentage/100) = Coloring Cost
Calculate using Let Down Ratio:
Cost/lb of Concentrate – Cost/lb of Resin
Let Down Ratio +1
= Coloring Cost

LIQUID FIBER PRODUCT FEATURES
Multiple color production
• Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several
injection points can be added to enable multiple
color production at the same time on a single
extruder
Batch size flexibility
• Fiber producers can manufacture anything from
a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the
same simple process
Rapid color changes
• No extruder contamination and easy color-on,
color-off operation increases color change speed
Waste reduction
• Rapid color changes, precise metering and
the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste
during color changeovers
Continuous metering & long spin pack life
• High pigment and dye concentrations mean
fewer pack changes are required
• Where color is running low for larger volume
runs, low level metering sensors alert operators
and packs can be changed without disrupting
production
In-line IV adjustment
• Specialist additives are available to adjust
Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET applications
• These additives are available as single products,
or can be combined with color
to create a multi-functional formulation
Color design service
• ColorMatrix offers a dedicated color design
service to help shorten product development
cycles and enhance market agility
Liquid color processing
• Formulations are stable at temperatures up
to 60°C and retain good flow properties at
temperatures as low as 10°C
• These formulations can help lower yarn friction
and abrasion, and there is no fuming
or evaporation during production
COLORMATRIX
FLEXCART LIQUID
DOSING SYSTEMS
Designed to optimize
the benefits of liquid
colorant and additive
technologies, each
ColorMatrix™ FlexCart™
model is highly flexible,
and offers high-level
dosing accuracy and
controllability for all
injection molding and
extrusion applications.
TECHNICAL ANALYSES
• DSC: Thermal analyses to characterize polymers, additives
and colorants
• TGA: Thermogravimetric analysis to evaluate thermal stability,
plus inorganic pigment, and carbon black content in the
Masterbatch
• FT-IR: Infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of raw materials
• Incineration oven to determine inorganic content
• Melt Flow Tester to measure the Melt Flow Rate of MBs
and Polymers
• Filter test to measure the dispersion quality and aggregate
content of materials contained in the polymer matrix
• Intrinsic/Relative Viscosity of Masterbatches and polymers
• Moisture content in the liquid colorants, MBs and polymers
• UV-Visible spectrometry: instrumental evaluation of the color
on yarn to perform quality control, color matchings and recipes
adjustments
• Yarn testing to evaluate mechanical properties, abrasion,
dry heat, rubbing and other characteristics
• Our pilot spinning lines have state-of-the-art take-up winders
that spin up to 4,500 meters/minute.
