Coloring
Color concentrates with polyethylene (PE) or EVA carriers are most suitable for coloring Versaflex® OM 9-801N. Typical letdown ratios are 50:1 to 25:1 - loading levels should be as low as possible to minimize the effect on adhesion. A high color match consistency can be obtained by the use of precolored compounds available from GLS. Concentrates based on PVC should not be used. The final determination of color concentrate suitability should be determined by customer trials. trials.

Purging
Purge thoroughly before and after use of this product with a low flow (0.5 - 2.5 MFR) polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP).
Regrind
Regrind levels up to 20% can be used with Versaflex® OM 9-801N with minimal property loss, provided that the regrind is free of contamination. To minimize losses during molding, the melt temperature should remain as low as possible. The final determination of regrind effectiveness should be determined by the customer.
