The Lifocolor Group has developed decorative Grantik optics for thermoplastic polymers. The effect masterbatches are particularly suitable for enhancing plastic packaging and products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Granite is one of the hardest rocks of all. It therefore embodies strength, stability and grandeur. Not least due to its wide colour spectrum, it is an attractive material<\/strong>Granite can come in light shades of grey, blue, red, yellow or even almost black. Depending on the content of different minerals, environmental influences and crystallisation, granite has a different and unique appearance. Fine structures, even veining and lighter colours make it appear more delicate. Mica particles reinforce the impression of higher value. Coarse grains and dark colours lead to a cooler, more solid perception. This varied, appealing effect with its natural origin allows Granite looks interesting for numerous applications<\/strong> not least in the plastics sector.<\/p>\n

The demands placed on products and packaging from consumer goods sectors such as beauty & care, gardening, household, sport, leisure and office\/stationery are high: they need to stand out from the crowd, represent the brand and impress users in every respect. Colour and finishing are an important key to sales success.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

\u201eWe know from our business partners that there is a great demand for natural materials such as stone or wood to be able to be reproduced as authentically as possible in plastic. With our new granite effect, we have developed a visually convincing masterbatch solution for colouring plastics.\u201c<\/p>\n

Marco Meixner, Head of Research and Development at Lifocolor Farben<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lifocolour<\/a> presented for the first time at the Fakuma<\/a>-trade fair in October 2023 introduced the effect in four colours for polyolefins (PE, PP). These have now also been formulated for the first technical polymers (ABS, PMMA, TPE). All developments fulfil the approvals according to 10\/2011 EU and FDA for food contact. They can be used in common Injection moulding and extrusion processes at temperatures of up to 280 degrees Celsius<\/strong> process. On request and depending on feasibility, the effect can be adjusted for other polymers.<\/p>\n
