Ensuring Quality: Measuring the Color of Recycled Plastic
In the plastics industry, the color of recycled plastic is a crucial quality indicator. Recycled plastic is typically translucent and non-uniform in size, which requires a customized color measurement solution.
HunterLab helps the world's largest Plastic Manufacturers avoid yellowing in their products by providing precise color data.
Why Measure the Color of Recycled Plastic?
Streamline Quality Control:
Color isn’t just aesthetics; it’s a quality indicator. Consumers rely on it, and manufacturers use it for optimal production. Recycled plastic serves as raw materials for countless products. Accurate color during production ensures manufacturing efficiency and minimizes wastage. - manufacturing plastic products, consumers with plastic products, pellets.
Tackle the Yellowing Challenge:
Optical brighteners are used to counteract yellowing in recycled plastic. It is critical for recycled plastic feedstock, recycled pellets, and finished plastics to use spectrophotometers to identify color values scientifically and adjust for the fluorescent qualities of optical brighteners. - same as in previous videos/some white/clear plastic object.
Recycled Plastics and Environmental Impact:
Governments and standards bodies are advocating for more recycled plastic. However, measuring the color of recycled plastic is tricky. Color Spectrophotometers help adjust for yellowness, ensuring quality and reducing waste and revenue loss.
Regulatory Compliance:
Medical, food, pharma, and auto have strict material standards. Our spectrophotometers provide objective color data to demonstrate compliance. - quality control worker and Agera or data on the screen.
