EuroWire – May 2007 127
Two new series of colour concentrates for use with a wide
range of PVC and polyolefin compounds used in the wire and
cable industry have been launched by Teknor.
The new ranges consist of 16 colours for PVC and 10
Munsell® colours for polyethylene, and comply with the RoHS
requirements specified by the European Union, according to
supplier Teknor Color Company, USA.
As applied to pigments used in colour concentrates,
RoHS regulations restrict the use of lead-, cadmium-, and
chromium-containing substances.
“These new concentrates have been formulated with
pigments that comply with RoHS regulations yet provide
the same colouring efficiency and electrical performance
obtained with standard concentrates,” said Anne Upton, wire
and cable market manager.
“They make it
possible for wire
industry manufac-
turers in the
Americas to serve
customers in Europe
as well as to meet
growing restrictions
on the use of certain
metal-containing
compounds in the
domestic market.”
Both series are
available in bead
form, except for
PVC black, which
is in dice form. The
16 colours of the
concentrates for use
with PVC are aqua,
black, blue, dark
blue, brown, dark
brown, grey, green,
light green, orange,
pink, purple, red,
dark red, white and
yellow.
The carrier resin for
these concentrates
is lead stabiliser-
free PVC.
The 10 Munsell
colours for use
with PE and TPEs are black, blue, brown, grey, green, orange,
purple, red, white and yellow.
