How to read these figures

Typical values, for reference only — not a specification and not part of any contract. What binds us is the specification confirmed in writing on your order, and where a sample has been approved, that sample governs. Send us your resin, process and target value and we will confirm the exact figure before you set a production parameter.

FAQ

Two things people ask

Does it work in dark colours?

Yes, the silver system is colour neutral. Carbon black based carriers can mask it — we supply a light carrier for dark compounds.

Can it be used for food contact?

No. We do not hold food-contact certification for this grade, so we do not recommend it for direct food contact. It is widely used in appliance parts and public touch surfaces.
