    Product Applications

    Macrolex® Black TP LXS 51151 is the colorant of choice for applications where carbon black is too dull, ­influences the polymers’ properties too strongly or is too hard to process. The highly soluble high-performance dyestuff Macrolex® Black TP LXS 51151 provides superior results in that case. Furthermore, Macrolex® Black TP LXS 51151 helps contribute to the circular economy as it enhances the recyclability of black plastic parts. Due to difficult sorting, black plastics are often not recycled. As Macrolex® Black TP LXS 51151 does not interfere with the NIR-detection of plastics, sorting becomes possible. Ideal applications are plastic parts that require a piano-like black color, e.g., beverage bottles, ­electronic devices, and children’s toys. PET colored with ­Macrolex® Black TP LXS 51151 is suitable for contact with edibles. All of its ingredients are FDA compliant.
