DISCOVER NEXXT – ECKART at K 2022

•    With its trade show motto "DISCOVER NEXXT", ECKART presents pigment solutions for the plastics industry that demonstrably improve the carbon footprint
•    Effect pigments with unique color compositions create surprising new optical accents in plastics 
•    Significantly enhanced level of metallic gloss for paint-free production processes: outstanding metallic appearance, cost and resource savings

Hartenstein, 10.10.2022 - Know what's coming next: ECKART will be showing the plastics industry forward-looking pigment solutions at K 2022, Oct. 19 - 26, 2022 in Düsseldorf (Hall 5, Booth E 16).

With MASTERSAFE BCR, the manufacturer of effect pigments is the first company worldwide to present bio-based preparations for aluminum pigments. By replacing fossil raw materials with renewable bio-based materials, MASTERSAFE BCR enables greenhouse gas emissions to be saved in the value chain.
MASTERSAFE BCR with the innovative biocarrier enables the reduction of the product carbon footprint by 50%. "Substituting fossil materials with biomass enables decarbonization and fundamentally reduces the PCF," says Dr. Dietmar Mäder, Global Head of Plastics at ECKART.

Coloring instead of metallic painting: STAPA® AC Reflexal aluminum pigment preparations can be used to create smooth, textureless metallic designs as well as glossy and reflective effects through simple mass coloring. Compared to products available on the market, STAPA® AC Reflexal offers an even higher level of metallic gloss. This paint-free solution can be achieved in a single process step, thus reducing costs, eliminating painting problems such as overspray and protecting the environment at the same time.

SynAdd gives the plastics industry individual scope for setting matte effects with varying degrees of transparency. Frost effects and opacity can be tailored with SynAdd. These new products are particularly suitable for engineering plastics such as polystyrene, MABS, polycarbonate or even transparent polyamides.

Unique color impulses for plastics with MASTERSAFE SYMIC Sahara Blue: The innovative color composition inspires with its unique interference flop, which oscillates from softly shimmering rosé with a beige undertone to sky blue interference reflection. MASTERSAFE SYMIC Sahara Blue will set surprising new optical accents, especially in cosmetic food packaging, household appliances or even in the toy and leisure industry. ECKART offers this extraordinary effect pigment in a practical and dust-free pellet version.

The easy-to-dose and easy-to-process pellets of MASTERSAFE MP 76-20B contain Silver dollar pigments that produce a coarse-grained silver luster or a metallic shimmer with a sparkle appearance. In combination with colored pigments, individual, highly attractive metallic shades can be created. For particularly light designs, ECKART recommends the use of SYMIC pearlescent pigments.
