Karlstein/Germany, November 2020 – Tosaf Color Service’s color, functional and combination
masterbatches for POM are now based on particularly low-emission carrier materials. In addition, the
pigments have been optimally selected with regard to their effectiveness. As a result, the low
emission data of the starting material – depending on the POM type – are almost fully retained, even
after coloring and compounding. The new masterbatches thus help to ensure compliance with the
strict specifications of the automotive industry for molded parts, and also with the requirements
regarding personnel safety. The emission-optimized masterbatches are suitable for all POM grades.
At the customer’s request, ongoing applications can also be switched to the new technology.
Tests carried out at an independent institute show the efficiency of the adopted measures, based on
the example of a conventional, low-emission POM grade, to which a combination masterbatch was
added. By switching from the conventional masterbatch to one with optimized color pigment and
carrier material, the formaldehyde release was reduced from non-permitted 8.8 ppm to a very good
rate of below 6 ppm.
Rudolf Reinhart, Product Manager at Tosaf Color Service, comments: “The carrier material used by us
is an easy-flowing, low-emission POM grade from a leading global manufacturer. Customers who use
our new masterbatches will always be on the safe side because the emission data from the base
polymer are hardly affected.” And Sales Manager Andreas Kruschinski adds: “With the consistently
high batch-to-batch quality level of our masterbatches, and because of their ease of handling, our
new low-emission grades are gaining a growing number of authorizations and are also registering the
first series applications for car interiors. SCHAUENBURG Industrietechnik GmbH is one of our pilot
customers in this area. In addition, we are experiencing growing demand in all typical POM
applications in a wide variety of industries.”
The portfolio of low-emission POM masterbatches offered by Tosaf Color Service ranges from grades
in standard and customized colors through functional versions, e.g. with lubricants, UV or heat
stabilizers, to combination grades with or without a color component. Typical applications beyond
automotive interior/exterior parts and conveyor technology include components for office and
entertainment electronics, as well as white goods including small and large kitchen devices.
