𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴! Liquid dosing is a powerful method for adding colour to plastic processing. It offers excellent distribution at low dosing rates and performs exceptionally well with transparent materials like PET. However, it does come with challenges.   "Liquid color has such a high pigment load that cleaning up spills always presents a tough challenge," explains 𝗕𝗮𝘀 𝗡𝗶𝗲𝘂𝘄𝗲𝗻𝗵𝘂𝗶𝘀, CTO of Movacolor.   Here's how Movacolor is addressing these issues: Our systems are 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀, allowing you to source liquid masterbatch independently. We're unique in offering a 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 that introduces inline regrind material into the material stream, reducing masterbatch consumption even when using liquid dosing.   This optimizes your production process and promotes sustainability by minimizing waste.   Ready to explore how our liquid dosing solutions can benefit your operations? 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝘀 today!   #LiquidDosing #SustainableManufacturing #Innovation #Movacolor

We use countless everyday items made of #thermoplastics, from water bottles to eyeglasses. But what makes these materials so strong, versatile, and consistent? A crucial step in the manufacturing process is tumble blending. A key step in the manufacturing process is tumble blending.

LENZING™ Industrial will push for the adoption of cellulosic materials over previously used fossil fuel-based synthetic materials in the production of filter media. We aim to provide lower-carbon solutions to stakeholder issues and to drive sustainable development across the value chain in the industrial and manufacturing sectors.   With a microfibrillar structure, good thermal stability, and chemical resistance, LENZING™ Lyocell fibers are well suited for use in various types of filter media. Their cellulosic composition contributes to compatibility with natural cellulosic and synthetic fiber types and binders. LENZING™ Lyocell fibers can be fibrillated via wet abrasion in a separate step prior to the papermaking process. These fibrillated fibers provide a unique source of sub-micron diameter fibrils and may be directly incorporated into filter media formulations to increase wet web strength and sheet tear resistance, or for enhancement of fine particle filtration efficiency.   The combination of environmentally friendly end-of-cycle disposals with beneficial fiber properties presents LENZING™ Lyocell fibers as a premier choice for applications ranging from lightweight papers for teabags and coffee filters, through pleatable media for industrial and automotive filters, to heavyweight depth filter sheets for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical filtration.   To learn more about collaborative efforts by LENZING™ and its partners in the filtration industry and other applications of LENZING™ Lyocell fibers please visit: https://lnkd.in/gmJAr26m   #Lenzing #GreenInnovation #Filtration
