PRINTEX® chroma 450 BEADS represent a high-jetness carbon black product line designed for engineered plastics. PRINTEX® chroma 450 BEADS deliver an excellent balance of jetness and surface smoothness. The material, which has E.U. food-contact approval, is produced at Orion’s ISCC PLUS-certified plant in Cologne, Germany. The product was developed for applications that require high dispersion, and the grade maintains a strong performance profile that provides flexibility for demanding plastics applications, says the company. The series also includes PRINTEX® chroma 500, designed for high-jetness applications, particularly in engineered plastics. It combines exceptional jetness with a strong bluish undertone. — Orion S.A., Luxembourg
