Company to expand its REPLASBLAK® product family with ISCC PLUS certified content powered by EVOLVE® Sustainable Solutions
The global transition toward a lower carbon future is driving the need for advanced sustainable solutions that support a circular economy and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As such, automotive plastic compounders and converters are seeking third-party certified black masterbatch products that leverage circular value chains and recycled feedstocks in the product manufacturing process. Cabot is positioned to enable a more sustainable future with its new universal circular black masterbatch products that are made from mechanically recycled polymer. These solutions offer customers an ISCC PLUS certified single masterbatch for use in a wide range of automotive applications for coloring polyolefins and many engineering plastics.
The two new products, REPLASBLAK® reUN5285 universal circular black masterbatch and REPLASBLAK® reUN5290 universal circular black masterbatch, are powered by EVOLVE Sustainable Solutions under the recovered category. These solutions enhance Cabot’s well-established range of universal black masterbatches recognized for the coloring of a wide range of polymers with the added benefit of sustainability. The solutions offer superior versatility by enabling the use of a single masterbatch at a low addition rate, resulting in material management efficiency in the product manufacturing process. Furthermore, both grades enable high gloss and high jetness pigmentation, offering superior color performance and mechanical properties similar to a standard universal black masterbatch. This makes the solutions suitable for use in various applications in the automotive segment, including interiors, exterior parts and under-the-hood applications.
