OMNICOLOR ® <strong>Multipurpose</strong><strong>Color</strong> ConcentratesThe industry’s first effective line ofmultipurpose color concentrates,OMNICOLOR offers excellent colorperformance across the broadestrange of polymers, while also helpingto minimize costs.OMNICOLOR delivers consistentlybrilliant batch-to-batch color withexceptional reliability and quality. Itslow usage ratio (100:1), low minimumorder (25 lbs., 5 kg), and pelletizedform for easy handling and storagemake it a versatile and cost-effectivechoice for injection molders.Available in a wide range of colors,OMNICOLOR concentrates are suitablefor use with over 25 different polymersincluding PVC, nylon and ABS. Theyare compatible with most commonadditives, including UV stabilizers, antistatsand slip agents. All OMNICOLORconcentrates are heavy-metal- andcadmium-free.OMNICOLOR color concentrates arebased on a multipurpose compatiblecarrier system. These concentratesare suitable for usewith a wide range ofpolymers at theaddition ratesrecommended inthe table below:Recommended Addition RatesPolyethylene 1%Polypropylene 1%GP Polystyrene 1%HI Polystyrene 1-2%Acrylics (Opaque) 1%PBT Polyester 1%PET Polyester 1%Polyurethane 1-2%Polyamide (Nylon) 1%Acetal 1%SAN 1%ABS 1-3%PVC 1-3%Polycarbonate 1%Thermoplastic 1-3%RubberAlloys & Blends 1-3%EVA 1%Filled Polymers 1-3%Concentrate SelectionOMNICOLOR concentrates are generallyselected because of their versatilitywhere a wide range of polymers areprocessed and their availability forsale in small quantities.Utilization of OMNICOLOR BlendingThorough premixing of OMNICOLORand polymer is required to obtainconsistency of color throughout theproduction run. This can be achievedby tumble mixing or by the use ofconcentrate metering devices.ProcessingIt is very important that the processingmachine has good plasticizingcapability. Improvements can oftenbe achieved by making the followingadjustments:1. Increasing the back pressure2. Reducing the screw speed3. Raising the temperature in themiddle zone of the barrel4. Cooling the feed zone of the barrelto prevent premature melting of thethe concentrateThermal StabilityOMNICOLOR processing temperaturespertain to the colorant system only.The carrier system also has a thermalceiling and is dependent on both timeand temperature. Care should be usedwhen processing OMNICOLOR wheremelt temperatures may exceed 600°F.General Information onOMNICOLOR CarrierThe term multipurpose concentrateimplies that the concentrate carrier iscompatible with most polymers. Thecarrier resin could cause performanceproblems in a few polymers. Therefore,OMNICOLOR should not be used in:1. Cellulosic polymers2. Transparent acrylic colors
Pigment CompatibilityThe OMNICOLOR range has beenformulated with high quality heavymetal-freepigments that will performwell in a wide range of polymers undermost processing conditions.Food, Toy and Critical ApplicationRegulationsOMNICOLOR masterbatches arenot suitable for food, primary pharmaceutical,cosmetic, toy, or medicalapplications or other applications thatrequire a US FDA letter of compliance.Detailed statements relating tocompliance with EU and US legislationand standards are available uponrequest:Denise M. RichardsonProduct Stewardship/EnvironmentalManager<strong>Clariant</strong> CorporationBusiness Unit Masterbatches926 Elliot Road, Albion, MI 49224, USATel: +1 517 629 7703Email: denise.richardson@clariant.comProcess CompatibilityOMNICOLOR masterbatches canbe used for injection molding, blowmolding, profile and sheet extrusionand will withstand the dryingtemperatures of most polymers thatrequire drying before processing,such as ABS and nylons. For polymerdrying in excess of 225˚F (100˚C),add the masterbatch after the dryingprocess or alternatively contact ourtechnical staff for availability ofhigh-temperature grades.LightfastnessThis is measured on the Blue WoolScale (BWS) from a minimumof 1 to a maximum of 8.OMNICOLOR offersa broad spectrum ofcolors with lightfastnessratings to suitmost applications.OMNICOLORconcentrates do notcontain UV stabilizers; outdoorapplications must be reviewed on acase-by-case basis. Please checkwith our technical department whencolorant is required for a light-specificor critical application.WeatherabilityThis refers to loss of color and outdoorexposure due to elemental action.Good lightfastness does not alwaysindicate good weatherability. Ifweatherability is of prime importance,this should be specified.<strong>Color</strong> Shade and OpacityAll pigments vary in color strengthand opacity. The formulations used tocreate OMNICOLOR combine the hightinting strength of organic pigmentswith the opacity of inorganics. Thehiding power of the formulations doesdiffer and should be tested for in allopaque and filled polymers beforestarting production.Flame Retardant PolymersOMNICOLOR masterbatches arenot suitable for flame retardantapplications.
