We look forward to connecting with customers, partners and industry colleagues […]
- [Prismasperse - A range](https://prismacolour.com/prismasperse-a-range/): Prismasperse-A Range Many traditional water‑based pigment dispersions rely heavily on surfactants for stability. While this approach works well in standard formulations, it begins to fall short in highly alkaline, mineral‑rich and heavily filled systems. In these demanding environments, surfactants can migrate, disrupt surface uniformity, and compromise long‑term colour development – leading to inconsistent appearance and performance issues that become visible to end users. Our improved formula Prismasperse‑A was developed specifically to overcome these limitations. Built on a robust styrenated acrylic resin system, it delivers the stability and compatibility required for modern high‑performance applications where conventional dispersions struggle. Cementitious materials Decorative concrete […]
- [Adblend P91](https://prismacolour.com/adblend-p91/): Adblend P91 The use of textiles as a means of reinforcement has been synonymous with the development in polymer technology from the earliest of times. Modern technologists now have an extensive array of materials at their disposal. Short fibres such as glass, carbon, aramid or natural fibres have been added to many types of polymers to improve, modify and increase certain mechanical properties of the polymer compound. Prisma Rubber Additives’ Adblend P91 is a masterbatch incorporating aramid fibre with polymeric binder and dispersing agents. Its unique format enables quick and efficient dispersion into the compound. This provides the maximum level of physical […]
- [Colour Confidence in a PFAS-Free Future!](https://prismacolour.com/colour-confidence-in-a-pfas-free-future/): Colour Confidence in a PFAS-Free Future   As regulatory pressure on PFAS-containing materials continues to increase, many rubber compounders and manufacturers are reviewing their formulations and supply chains to identify suitable alternatives. For many high-performance rubber applications, FKM (fluoroelastomer) has traditionally been the material of choice. As the industry transitions towards PFAS-free solutions, several alternative elastomer systems are gaining attention, including: HNBR – Excellent heat, oil and chemical resistance with strong mechanical performance. Silicone Rubber – Outstanding temperature resistance and flexibility across a wide operating range. EPDM – Cost-effective resistance to heat, weathering, ozone and steam. Polyurethane (PU) – Exceptional abrasion resistance and […]

- [♻️ Colour and Additives for Recycled Plastics ♻️](https://prismacolour.com/%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f-colour-and-additives-for-recycled-plastics-%e2%99%bb%ef%b8%8f/): It’s clear that the importance and reliance on recycled plastics in day-to-day life is growing. Using recycled polymer to create sustainable plastic applications helps to reduce the amount of fossil fuels being used in the production of consumer and industrial plastic products. Recycled polymer is the key to a sustainable plastic industry. However, while recycled plastics have benefits for the environment, it is critical that these materials offer the same quality as virgin polymers. We must all ensure that the integrity of the end articles is not diminished by sub-standard recyclates and poor formulating of masterbatches for them; jeopardising the primary function of the application. Potential challenges for using PCR and PIR for […]

- [Sister Company Prisma Rubber Additives - Nitrosamine-Free Cure Systems](https://prismacolour.com/sister-company-prisma-rubber-additives-nitrosamine-free-cure-systems/): The use of rubber accelerators, with the potential to produce high levels of mutagenic and carcinogenic substances (nitrosamines), are a high concern to a rubber compounder. Nitrosamines are a family of chemical compounds discovered over 100 years ago. However, it was not until the 1950s that these compounds received worldwide attention, and with it the serious implications for health and safety requirements for workers and consumers alike. It is well known that nitrosamines are produced mostly during the curing and post-curing process of rubber components. These create the primary routes of exposure by ingestion, inhalation and dermal (skin) contact. Prisma Rubber […]

- [Considerations for formulating masterbatches, compounds and dispersions](https://prismacolour.com/considerations-for-formulating-masterbatches-compounds-and-dispersions/): Colourant formulations are often complex in order to meet the varied requirements of the players in the supply chain. However, in general we as consumers take colour for granted. What are the main considerations when correctly identifying colours and additives for a particular formulation? To meet the various direct and in-direct end customer requirements for colour masterbatches and compounds there are several main questions that have to be answered to avoid premature failure, degradation and of course over or under engineering to achieve the all-important price point. Paying attention to these questions, with our vast experience in liquid dispersion and dispersion […]
