Colloids is the global leader of black and colour masterbatches to the polyolefin industry for PE80 and PE100 pipe compounds.
For the transport of gas and drinking water under pressure, our PE80 and PE100 compounds are designed to produce pipes for a guaranteed lifetime of over 50 years at maximum rated pressure.Our products provide stress crack resistance, resistance to rapid crack propagation, creep resistance and long-term strength, and are classified and tested according to ISO 4427 and EN 12201 for drinking water application or ISO 4437 and EN 1555 for gas application.
Polymers are the ideal materials for drainage pipes and conduits in construction, communications, municipal and industrial applications. Non-pressure pipes can also be made from recovered and recycled materials, lowering waste and costs.
Our additives and masterbatch provide exacting performance to meet all regulations and customer goals, including flexural modulus, creep and crack resistance, abrasion resistance and friction.
Artificial turf can be used for landscaping or sports surfaces. Perfect for open or undercover stadiums, artificial turf is durable and long lasting. Sports pitches can be designed for playing football, rugby, hockey, and many other sports.
With low maintenance costs and the ability to choose a vast array of colour shades, not just green, it’s becoming ever more popular. Colloids is proud to be a leading supplier of masterbatch for artificial grasses. Colloids masterbatches are formulated to give excellent mechanical properties, UV stability and consistent batch to batch colour.
Geosynthetics are recognised as an essential tool to the development of sustainable infrastructure, with knock-on benefits in economic development, social development and environmental protection.
Phenomenal advances have been made in the materials, manufacturing and application of geosynthetics, ensuring better performance of the structures and reduced long-term maintenance. The polymer and masterbatch system used is critical to the performance, reliability and long-term sustainability of products. Colloids is a long-standing supplier to the geosynthetic industry and has a broad range of colour and black masterbatches that ensure adherence to international standards.
Colloids supply masterbatch for rain culvert pipe, storm water drainage systems and septic distribution systems. Offering exceptional performance, our polymers are formulated to give high UV performance coupled with high creep resistance, high flexural modulus and high impact resistance.
Stadium seating requires specialist masterbatches offering colouring solutions with excellent lightfastness, fire resistance and UV protection as well as robust mechanical properties. Colloids is a world leading formulator of masterbatches for stadium seating
There has been a boom in the use of plastic building materials for commercial and residential works, with polymer panels filling the need for lightweight, durable materials for insulation and construction. Integrity and safety performance for these materials are critical.
Colloids produce a range of masterbatches suitable for use in expanded polystyrene and expanded polypropylene construction panels.
Offering flexibility, excellent abrasion resistance and leak-free joints, HDPE has established itself as the preferred material used in the mining industry. Colloids’ research has helped enhance the HDPE compound to ensure long-term performance in demanding environments, including static dissipative performance.
