SHOW PREVIEW | FAKUMA 2018
automotive, medical and industrial applications,” says Emmanuel Tarret, General Manager EMEA for Cabot’s Masterbatch. Cabot will also present its latest developments in high colour blacks. Designed for use with styrenics and PAs in injection moulding applica- tions, the new ultra-black formulations require less carbon black to achieve high jetness, reducing the negative impact on mechanical properties. The company will also introduce its Techblak
line of black masterbatches, which are formulated using recycled resins from both post-industrial and post-consumer sources. �

a speed range from 0.2 to 150 min-1 . With the
choice of mixer or extruder measuring heads, it can handle tasks such as raw material and recipe development, material testing, quality control and process optimisation. Lab-scale production of samples for further investigation can also be readily performed. �

BYK will introduce Disperplast-1180, its latest wetting and dispersing additive for use in highly filled technical PVC compounds for applications such as LVT flooring. According to the company, incorporation of the new additive allows higher filler levels to be used without loss of mechanical properties. Other benefits include improved and faster plastification and better melt processing. �

Right: ColorLite launches its ColorTube spectrophoto- meter at Fakuma
Cabot will be highlighting its expanded capabili- ties in conductive formulations and new develop- ments in high colour blacks for injection moulding, as well as their sustainable black masterbatch solutions. The company will present a new technology to provide higher performance in electri- cally conductive applications. “Leveraging our extensive experience in formulating conductive compounds for new materials is a key part of our strategy. With this we are optimising not only our formulation manufacturing capabilities, but also broaden- ing our scope with innovative materials that will play an important role in enhancing the functionality of plastics in
42 COMPOUNDING WORLD | October 2018
ColorLite has added a new stationary spectropho- tometer to its colour measurement equipment family. The ColorTube is said to be suitable for reflection and transmission measurements and is a two-channel system that includes a 140mm diameter sphere and spectrometers for sample and reference channels. The unit offers a measuring range from 400nm to 700nm with a spectral scanning of 3.5nm. An integrated gloss trap allows measurements with and without gloss exclusion, while high perfor- mance LED light sources ensure stable measure- ments. The unit is available as a basic reflection model or with a third channel for transmission operation and is supplied with PC-based colour database software. �

Coperion will be placing its Fakuma focus on feeding technology, showing a Coperion ZS-B side feeder equipped with its patented Feed Enhance- ment Technology (FET). The ZS-B twin screw side feeder enables reliable side feeding of fillers and additives in powder, pellet and fibre form into the process section of the twin screw extruder. It features a self- cleaning screw profile and allows product to feed into the screw flights without stagnant zones. The FET Feed Enhance- ment Technology option applies a vacuum to the feed zone by means of a porous, gas-permeable wall.
The resulting gas extraction is said to increase the material
intake capacity when processing feed limited products by up to three times. This means higher through- put rates and the ability to use finer
