TINTIUM - Plastics and Polymers

Tintium RY4900 series of Pigment Yellow 139 is best suited for plastics. Its brilliant reddish yellow coloration and excellent dispensability makes it highly attractive to plastics Masterbatch manufacturers. It is strongly recommended for synthetic and natural rubber coloration also. No migration takes place in plasticizers making it a product of choice for PVC / Plastisol manufacturers.

Tintium GY 2700 series is the greenish Yellow (PY 185) loved by plastics manufacturers. Its attractive full tone and tint tone shades are very clean.

Both the products are specially designed to resist change of shade during processing.

High temperature versions (280 c - 300 c) of PY 139 and PY 185 for plastics are to be released later.

Tintium series pigments are for use in everyday plastics and in injection moulding, extrusion and blow moulding. Tintium pigments are dispersed easily into the plastic by extrusion and using an adhesion promoter, (i.e) surface active agent or paraffin oil. Tintium pigments are best suited for polymer coloration because they are insoluble in the polymers under their process conditions also. Blooming and bleeding which occur due to migration are avoided by using Tintium. These pigments also do not recrastallize causing structural weakness or loss of hiding power.

Tintium pigments when used in packaging films are extraction proof and physiologically safe. If transparent films aer needed must be used.

The forte of Tintium pigments is the high dispersibility which gives value for money, besides the aesthetic look. The polymers are glossier when Tintium is used.

Tintium pigments do not cause shrinkage when used in large parts or products such as road dividers and milk crates. The high light fatness of Tintium is a major advantage to plastics exposed to bright sunlight like tarpaulins, awnings, etc.

PVC and Tintium are made for each other. In PVC wire coating, Tintium is used to pass all standard tests for dielectric strength and other electric properties. Dispersion and suspension grade PVC can be colored with Tintium and pigments dispersion is achieved by calendaring.

PVC cables coloured with tintium can with stand high voltage(1100 Volts), and pass tests such as IS-694-1964 and IS-5831-1970.

Polymer fibres such as Polyolefin, Polyester or Nylonfibres can be coloured in the melt with Tintium pigments. The fibre strength remains unaffected. The fibres attain very good gloss.

Extensive tests are being conducted by us with tintium in various polymers for dispersibility , temperature stability, particle size analysis etc.
