MEDICAL, FOOD AND TOY REGULATIONS Omnicolor colorants have limited EU food contact compliance, and are not suitable for FDA primary pharmaceutical packaging, cosmetic or medical applications. PROCESS COMPATIBILITY Omnicolor colorants can be used for injection molding, blow molding, and profile and sheet extrusion.

Common examples are epoxy, silicone, and polyurethane (PU). Profile extrusion Co-extrusion film and wire & cable
