Black is Black

2 December 2024

Thank you, Efrat Friedland, for this insightful post! 🌟 Roctool can indeed provide 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 for both virgin and recycled materials, such as:
✔️ Defect elimination
✔️ Improved material flow
✔️ No need for secondary operations
✔️ High gloss and low gloss on the same part
✔️ Ultra-surface replication
✔️ Reduced cycle times (depending on resin)
…and so much more! We’re proud to contribute to enhanced sustainability and efficiency in material processing. 💡

I love black. this is not another Black Friday post.
I am saddened to see over consumption and over production and always advocate recycling and reuse. If you must design a new product, or looking for an alternative for your virgin hashtagplastics – consider using BLACK recycled and recyclable plastics. Here’s why:
➡️ Black can hide surface irregularities, making imperfections less noticeable.
➡️ Black pigments, especially carbon black, effectively block UV light.
➡️ Black plastics are used across industries servicing many applications.
Despite the benefits, challenges like limited hashtagrecyclability of black plastics due to optical sorting issues (e.g., traditional recycling systems struggle to detect black pigments) should be addressed. Innovations like using near-infrared (hashtagNIR) detectable pigments are helping mitigate this issue.

⭐ For high gloss or deep matte hashtagsurfaces with 100% recycled plastics, check Roctool technology: https://lnkd.in/ddQMXx6c
This will help you avoid secondary treatments (painting, lacquering) to facilitate future recyclability.
