Dazzling array of solar reflective pigments is most
wide-ranging available to plastics formulators
WYNYARD, UK, Oct. 6, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Venator is returning to K2022 this October where it
will demonstrate its unrivalled expertise in manufacturing pigments
for the plastics industry that have solar reflective capabilities.
Following record-breaking temperatures across Europe this summer, Venator will use its time
in Dusseldorf to highlight the
breadth of its infrared reflective pigments portfolio – which is
the most comprehensive of its kind available to formulators that
want to improve the thermal stability and durability of
plastics.
Venator is a leading supplier of pigments and performance
additives to the global plastics industry - with an innovative
range of products that bring color and vibrancy plus protect and
extend the life of all kinds of plastics, from furniture and food
packaging to car interiors and construction materials. When it
comes to solar reflective pigments, Venator has a range of
technologies available including:
- ALTIRIS® pigments – an award-winning range of
titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigments used to improve the
durability of plastics and prevent warping and discoloration caused
by the sun. Specific products include ALTIRIS® W400
– a near infrared reflecting pigment that can improve the thermal
stability and durability of white, bright, and light-colored
plastics used in exterior applications such as window and door
profiles, sidings, decking, soffits and fascias. Venator also
offers ALTIRIS® 550 and 800, for mid to dark
colored plastics
Complex inorganic pigments that can improve the appearance,
durability and thermal stability of plastics are also available
from Venator. These include:
- COLOURPLEX® pigments – recommended for high
performance applications, where weather resistance and thermal and
chemical stability are essential, these pigments span a range of
colors from cobalt-based blues, turquoise and greens; to
titanate-based chemistries in the yellow to orange space; to
iron-based tan and brown pigments
- REFLECT™ pigments – a range of metal oxides chemically
engineered to maximize solar reflectance and keep products cool
where heat management is an issue – for example in automotive
interior applications and in building façade materials
- SOLAPLEX® – a portfolio of clean, bright highly
reflective pigments that offer enhanced luminosity in the yellow to
orange spectrum and are a high-performance alternative to cadmium
and lead chromium
Dr. Jörg Hocken, Global Application Manager at Venator said:
"With record-breaking temperatures this summer, plastics producers
worldwide now need to think seriously about integrating solar
reflective pigments into their formulations as standard. As we all
make changes to help combat rising global temperatures, this
decision could make a huge difference to the longevity of plastic
products used across an array of applications. At Venator, we're
committed to helping our customers address pressing sustainability
issues, while keeping them at the cutting edge of their business –
and our plastics experts are looking forward to discussing the
issue of solar reflectance plus other pigment and additive-related
topics with K attendees."
Other pigments and additives that Venator will put under the
spotlight at K2022 will include:
- DELTIO® 48X pigment – this free-flowing titanium
dioxide pigment is ideal for masterbatch producers and compounders
who want to improve material flow through their systems and
minimize the risk of costly blockages
- TIOXIDE® TR48 pigment – a TiO2 grade with
excellent coloristic properties that's easy to disperse and
integrate into polyolefin master batches; biaxially oriented
polypropylene (BOPP) films; and engineering compounds
- TIOXIDE® TR42 – a blue tone, white pigment that can
be easily integrated into rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC),
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastics and low-density
polyethylene (LDPE) films
- Plus, a range of ultramarine pigments, high purity iron oxides
and functional additives such as SACHTOLITH HDS/L
