It is more difficult for a TPE to form a melt bond with a semi-
crystalline polymer, such as polyamide, than with an amorphous polymer like polycarbonate.

Problem: Non-uniform color
Poor dispersion

PHOTO CAPTION: PolyOne’s IQ Design team assisted with the design, moldfilling analysis, and production of the injection-molded USee device, which includes a copolyester frame, medical-grade polycarbonate lenses, and acetal for the dials and gears.

Coloring polymers in any process gives a degree of freedom and flexibility that’s not possible with pre-colored polymers.
Why it’s a mistake: Solid and liquid colorants each have certain applications where they make the most sense in terms of coloring effects, efficiency, and results.
There’s actually also a third potential pitfall here: A processor who purchases one type of equipment (liquid-color dosing or solid-color feeders) may wrongly believe their operation cannot accommodate the other type of color technology.

Experts say
it’s color.
To get the most from a color strategy,
you need the right colorant for the job.
