Colors Liquid colorants will produce transparent, translucent and tinted color. Solid colorants are better for generating highly opaque colors—including metallic, pearlescent and glow-in-the-dark colors—or patterns and effects, like marbling, wood or camouflage.

Color and Dimensional Stability Maintaining brand color equity, part dimensions, and mechanical properties are areas of concern when PCR is included at 30% or more in the molded part. Choose densely pigmented colorants to help obscure the inherent color of PCR

We’ve helped numerous customers maintain a high part quality as they transition from paint to using molded-in colors.  OnColor™ FX Special Effects Colorants Learn how molded-in color can offer the same eye-popping effects of paint at a greater efficiency and lower cost.

Suppliers and OEMs looking for a broader color palette will also benefit from masterbatches. While most antistatic parts do not have good bonding surfaces for paint, masterbatches allow for the inclusion of colorants to achieve molded-in color without the need for paint.  Injection molding, blow molding, extrusion and other processes all affect part performance in varying ways and may require adjustments in additive type and quantity.

It can also be easily colored for excellent aesthetics. The bumpers were molded separately and then slipped into channels between the upper and lower housing components (instead of overmolding them onto the housing). Cost savings: Molding the bumpers separately and inserting them into the housing keeps costs down yet provides the seamless appearance of overmolding.

They are drop-in solutions that can be used just like fossil fuel-based polymer solutions during the injection molding, blow molding or extrusion process. These color and additive solutions are available as concentrates or ready-to-use pre-colored formulations in bio-based polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, styrenic resins and ABS. As pre-colored formulations, they already contain the right amount of colorant and/or additive and can be used as such without dilution.
