Low‑Emission Acetal Masterbatches for Automotive and Beyond – Expertly Developed by Tosaf Color Service

Low‑Emission Acetal Masterbatches for Automotive and Beyond

Israel‑based Tosaf Color Service, with a U.S. presence in Bessemer, NC, now offers a new line of functional and combination color masterbatches for polyoxymethylene (POM). These masterbatches are formulated on low‑emission carriers and use pigments that are carefully selected for maximum color strength.

The result is a product that maintains the low‑emission profile of the base POM material – even after coloring and compounding – and meets the stringent safety and performance requirements of the automotive sector.

Independent laboratory testing confirms that switching from a conventional low‑emission POM grade to the new optimized masterbatch reduces formaldehyde release from 8.8 ppm (non‑permitted) to below 6 ppm, a significant improvement for both regulatory compliance and personnel safety.

Tosaf’s portfolio covers standard and custom colors, functional grades (e.g., lubricants, UV and heat stabilizers), and full‑color combination masterbatches. Applications range from automotive interior and exterior components to conveyor systems, office electronics, entertainment devices, and white‑goods appliances.

“Our low‑emission masterbatches consistently achieve high batch‑to‑batch quality and are easy to handle,” says sales manager Andreas Kruschinski. “They are already gaining authorizations and the first production runs for car interiors – a pilot customer is Schauenburg Industrietechnik GmbH. Demand is growing across all POM‑based industries.”
