Cabot Corporation announced the launch of its new REPLASBLAK? product family of circular black masterbatches with certified material. With this launch, Cabot has introduced three products which will be sold as the company?s first-ever International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS) certified black masterbatch products powered by EVOLVE® Sustainable Solutions.

Cabot?s recently launched EVOLVE® Sustainable Solutions technology platform is designed to deliver products that offer sustainable content with reliable performance at industrial scale. The REPLASBLAK circular black masterbatches powered by EVOLVE Sustainable Solutions will enable Cabot to deliver the reliable performance, quality and consistency that the plastics industry requires at scale for certified solutions. Cabot?s EVOLVE Sustainable Solutions technology platform is designed to deliver sustainable reinforcing carbons and other performance materials across three sustainability categories ?

recovered, renewable and reduced. Cabot has launched three new black masterbatch products powered by EVOLVE Sustainable Solutions under the recovered category including, REPLASBLAK? rePE5475 100% circular black masterbatch, REPLASBLAK?

rePE5265 70% circular black masterbatch and REPLASBLAK? rePE5250 60% circular black masterbatch. All three products leverage an ISCC PLUS certified mass balance approach.

ISCC is a globally applicable certification system designed to ensure compliance with ecological and social requirements, greenhouse gas emissions savings and traceability. Mass balance accounting is a chain of custody approach designed to trace the flow of materials through a complex value chain, including recycled feedstock at plants. REPLASBLAK rePE5475 100% circular black masterbatch leverages 100% ISCC PLUS mass balance certified material made from reclaimed carbons from end-of-life tires pyrolysis and mechanically recycled polyethylene.

It delivers more than a 60% GHG reduction in comparison to a standard black masterbatch and adheres to the ISCC PLUS voluntary add-on GHG emissions requirements. It delivers medium tint strength, making it suitable for applications that require higher circular content including compounding, recycling, injection molding and sheet extrusion applications relevant to the automotive, agriculture, packaging and construction segments. REPLASBLAK rePE5265 70% circular black masterbatch leverages 70% ISCC PLUS mass balance certified material made from mechanically recycled polyethylene.

It reduces GHG emissions by nearly 50% in comparison to a standard black masterbatch and adheres to the ISCC PLUS voluntary add-on GHG emissions requirements. It delivers high gloss and jet pigmentation in thermoplastics, making it suitable for compounding, recycling, injection molding and sheet extrusion applications relevant to the automotive segment. REPLASBLAK rePE5250 60% circular black masterbatch leverages 60% ISCC PLUS mass balance certified material made from mechanically recycled polyethylene.

It reduces GHG emissions by nearly 50% in comparison to a standard black masterbatch and adheres to the ISCC PLUS voluntary add-on GHG emissions requirements. It delivers high tint strength making it suitable for compounding, recycling, injection molding and sheet extrusion applications relevant to the automotive segment.
