Moulded Parts

Used in:

Automotive interior plastics

Appliance housings

Toys

Handles, tools, casings

Blow-molded containers

Conventional Carbon Blacks Used in Molding

Plastics processors generally use:

N550/N660

for flow

N330

if they want extra stiffness

General pigment blacks for color

Industry Problems with Conventional Grades

  • Flow marks and weld lines
  • Black streaks due to poor dispersion
  • Viscosity instability
  • Over-hardening of plastics using N330-type blacks
  • Surface defects (pepper specks)
  • Odor during injection molding
  • Jetness inconsistency

Why?
Because rubber blacks were built for mastication, stiffening, and reinforcement, not meltflow precision.

ISTAR Upgrade — DURONIX® + EMPIREX® + PLASTEXA®

PLASTEXA® is engineered specifically for safe, compliant plastics:

DURONIX®

  • Low-structure variants reduce viscosity
  • Stable melt flow for thin-wall injection molding
  • Smooth surfaces with no streaking

EMPIREX®

  • Balanced reinforcement + flow control
  • Enables sharper edges and multi-cavity stability
  • Ideal for ABS, PP, HIPS components

PLASTEXA®

  • Ultra-clean blacks for high-gloss surfaces
  • Perfect for aesthetic molded parts

ISTAR converts injection molding from “rubber-black trial-and-error” to a controlledengineering process.
