Ezentus™ Corona Magenta (EZ-21)

1 of 5 products in this brand
EZ Series is a new class of formaldehyde free, high performance fluorescent pigment. Ezentus colorants are made with user-friendly materials that eliminate chemicals of concern without compromising performance. These versatile pigments can be used where traditional fluorescent colorants cannot. Whether it's for an ink or coatings application, where solvent resistance is needed or even compounding an EVA foam or a flexible PVC application, Ezentus will perform where other fluorescent pigments fail. EZ Series offers formulators a migration free product as well as one with improved lightfastness.

EZ Pigments in Polyolefin and EVA Foams

Expanded polyolefins and EVA foams are being used increasingly in sports shoes and apparel because these closed cell foams are stable, durable and chemically resistant. The primary
blowing agent used to produce polyolefin and EVA foams is azodicarbonamide, typically combined with zinc oxide, zinc stearate, stearic acid and reactive peroxides. Formulations of this type produce crosslinked foams that are more stable than similar highly expanded un-crosslinked foams. This crosslinked structure creates a foam that can keep its structure at temperatures approaching the melting point of the base polymer, and in some cases exceed it. One of the added benefits of parts made from polyolefin and EVA foam is the ability to create parts by compression molding methods, including the injection molded foam process.
