COLOURANTS FOR RIGID GRADES OF VINYL

Doeflex Vinyl, one of the largest independent compounders in the UK, is introducing a range of standard colours for its general purpose grade of rigid extrusion compounds. The company say there is a growing demand for small batches of coloured compounds at-competitive prices, primarily from extrusion companies. Minimum order is 1 tonne from a basic colour range of blue, yellow, natural, beige, grey, brown, orange, cream, red, and maroon.

MASTERBATCH SUPPLIER Ampacet of America is to set up a European factory to manufacture IN EUROPE masterbatches. The company is said to have 25% of the additive

market in the US at the present time, and is aiming to improve its position in Europe with this 20,000 tonne plant which will be situated in Belgium. The capacity will be increased by 10,000 tonnes per year when a fourth production line comes on stream within the next two years.

ACQUISITION

ADDITIVE FIBRE REI SYSTEMS

FOR GLASS Dermil Research is marketing a low melting point saturated INFORCED polyester powder for use in glass fibre reinforced unsaturated

polyester resins to improve surface properties, craze resistance, and impact resistance. The powder also acts as a flow and levelling agent and is intended as an alternative to low density polythene additives, which are not as compatible with unsaturated polyesters and so reduce gloss levels. The polyesters are, however, twice the price of the LDPE. DR135180 and 1351150.

The powders are designated

Mercury Plastics has acquired Foscolor in the UK. Mercury, which specialises almost exclusively in small lot supply of colour masterbatch, claims to be the only company in the UK producing a "truly universal masterbatch". Foscolor also pro- duces a so-called universal masterbatch but this is based on a different system. The two companies are somewhat comparable in size and market share.
