Milliken’s KeyPlast RESIST ®
New at K 2019, this portfolio is designed specifically to address the challenges of coloring polyamides & high-heat.
Product engineers and designers frequently choose polyamide resins and high-heat en- gineering polymers for some of the toughest applications. The resins are commonly used in components for power tools, gears, and in de- manding automotive and appliance parts.
But such components also often require pre- cisely controlled coloration — and that has proven to be a challenge, until now. It’s not easy to color high-performance engineering thermoplastics (ETPs) with bright and vibrant hues. Not only are the materials subject to high-temperature processing, they also require steady, reliable performance properties in their final application. Colors and additives cannot be allowed to negatively impact any of those proper- ties.
To address this chal- lenge, Milliken has de- veloped its KeyPlast™ RESIST™
range of col-
orants, and will intro- duce them at K 2019. It has specially designed these products for color- ing engineering polymers
™
colorants offer a bright spectrum of hues for engineering plastics
such as polyamides, polyimides, PBT polysul- fones, PEEK, PPO and other high-heat resins and alloys.
Given their chemical composition, polyamides (nylons) have long been particularly difficult to color, since traditional colorants have tended to react with the polymer system and discolor due to the loss of conjugation in the colorant molecule. Keyplast RESIST range of colorants can be effective with unfilled, glass-filled, and flame-retardant grades of various polyamide types such as polyamide 6, 66, 46, and other high temperature engineering polymers.
Due to its toughness and other performance properties, nylon is ideally suited for use in de- manding electrical applications. Keyplast RE- SIST colorants have been tuned to meet these needs, including for such fast-growing appli- cation area as in electric vehicles and in their related charging system components.
Milliken’s new product range delivers the brilliant, consistent colors — includ- ing bright orange, yellow, red, blue and green — and the high-end properties that users demand. These colorants offer im- proved weather resistance and light fastness, and per- form well in the high-tem- perature and chemically-re- ductive conditions typically
associated with high-perfor- mance polymers.
