Thanks to its comprehensive expertise and the continuous expansion of production capacities, AF-Color is one of the leading manufacturers of technically high-quality colour and additive concentrates. Special focus is placed on masterbatches for future-orientated and demanding applications. The highlights will be presented at this year's Fakuma 2024 in Friedrichshafen at the joint stand of the Feddersen Group in Hall B2, Stand 2213.
Polyketone is currently enjoying increasing popularity. The engineering thermoplast has outstanding properties and also has a better CO2 footprint compared to other polymers. The masterbatch manufacturer has developed an extensive polyketone-based masterbatch portfolio with a wide range of colours, which is approved in accordance with the regulatory guidelines of Regulation EU 10/2011.
The PK range has also been expanded to include a suitable cleaning granulate, especially for processing polyketone.
Colour stable for e-mobility according to RAL 2003
RAL 2003 has established itself in electromobility. The decisive factors are the durability of the colour and the preservation of the technical properties of the polymer. The brilliant and colourful masterbatch ensures permanent marking for applications in injection-moulded parts that are under tension.
AF-Color has designed the range for a variety of engineering polymers. A comprehensive portfolio is available for applications with high processing temperatures.
Reduction of CO2 emissions through blowing agents
A significant further development focuses on a blowing agent masterbatch customised for polyamides. The chemical blowing agents it contains ensure a density reduction of up to 40 %.
As a result, CO2 emissions are reduced and the significant weight and material savings are a decisive argument in favour of sustainability.
