The toners (additives) can be used with medical-grade PC for medical devices.
According to the company, ColorMatrix Optica for PC toners offers exceptional visual clarity, color consistency, and color dispersion in transparent PC resins.
They help to retain transparent properties, and can prevent undesirable color shifts toward yellows and greens.
These new toners are formulated without heavy metal or restricted ingredients, and can be used at lower doses in comparison to alternatives like pigment and solid masterbatches.
PC is a popular material for everything from automotive interiors and appliances to consumer goods and electronics, thanks to its versatile characteristics and recyclability.
