Colorants for NIR Detectable Black

Black Pigments that can be Seen, Sorted, and Recycled

Enabling a Circular Future for Black Plastics.

Traditional carbon black pigments absorb near-infrared (NIR) light, preventing automated detection and sorting. This often sends recyclable black plastics to landfills.

Our NIR-detectable black pigments reflect NIR signals, making black plastics sortable and recyclable – even in food, personal care, and Electrical and Electronics (E&E) packaging.

Designed for compatibility with standard processing methods, these pigments support circular packaging strategies while maintaining the deep, premium appearance brands rely on.

  • Enables accurate NIR sorting in automated recycling.
  • Provides high color strength with excellent dispersion.
  • Supports brands pursuing circular economy goals.
  • Reduces landfill and carbon emissions through recyclable design.
