Dyeing, Renovating, Recycling and Re-using Goods with the help of Plastic Colorants

There must have been many times you have put on a garage sale your faded items and have done away with some of your favorite things, just because they are faded and discolored. It might be your favorite leather jacket or grunge shoes, or your golf clubs, or your car seat covers, or furniture made of plastic, leather and wood. Well now the good news is, you do not need to throw away with things you love, just because they are not in the right color anymore. You can easily color them to make them new all over again.

There are so many different types of dyes and colors that you can choose from, when it comes to coloring your plastic articles such as furniture, PVC shoes and accessories, as well as parts of your cars or boats. Simply coloring these things with an ideal plastic colorant will restore the class, color, shine and gloss of the product and then becomes re-usable, with the new-like feel again. You would not have to discard it just due to the color anymore. This will not only solve your purpose but also help in saving the world from a lot of pollution.

Ask most industry advocates about the benefits of plastic materials and one of the advantages that will certainly come up early in the conversation is that of molded-in color. The ability to avoid painting is an obvious benefit not only in reduced cost and shortened delivery cycles, but also from the standpoint of regulatory concerns.

It is the best solvent dye having good solubility properties with organic and polar solvents. These are rated low on toxicity for solvents and have good heat and light fastening option. The plastic dyes possess durable colour fastness property resulting in making it automobiles-friendly for coloration. Besides this, plastic dye stimulates the working of the photovoltaic cells making it the revolutionizing product of the electricity section.

We usually associate “decoration” with secondary processes such as painting or affixing a decal or label. But the underlying color is important for several reasons. First, it is an integral part of the design and can greatly affect the final appearance. Also, special effect colorants are decorative in their own right. Sometimes they eliminate the need for secondary processes to yield an eye-catching product. More often, they are used in combination with secondary decoration processes to produce unique visual effects. Plastic Colorants are the largest group of a broad range of additives and masterbatches available to alter appearance, functionality, performance, safety, cost effectiveness, and processing efficiency of resins.

Color is such an integral part of the plastic, without which the attractiveness of plastic is completely lost, the process of giving the plastic a color must be dealt with very carefully. And that is the only reason why industries spend millions of dollars in their research and development departments to select the best combination of polymers and colorant.

So why waste and pollute the environment when you can preserve, recycle and reuse in new form? It’s not just a great deal of money saving and your pocket with thank you for it, it shall mean that you will actually contribute your bit towards saving the environment. Read more...
