These innovative colorants are optimal for creating parts in bright, metallic hues directly from the molding process, eliminating the need for secondary processing. Direct molding, eliminating secondary processing Technical information, design guides, processing information and more.

Coloring polymers in any process gives a degree of freedom and flexibility that’s not possible with pre-colored polymers. This can lead to a less-than-optimum processing experience that also produces less-than-consistent results. The specifics on sizing depend on the applications themselves as well as the size of processing machinery.

The customized ABS formulation with metallic effect was developed to help electronics manufacturers eliminate the painting process while achieving scratch and chemical resistance performance and sustainability goals.  By using Artisan pre-colored ABS thermoplastics, molders are able to produce parts with a brilliant, high-gloss metallic effect without any secondary processing. Compared with a traditional painting process, injection-molded Artisan materials have lower energy requirements and reduced VOC emissions, making these thermoplastics a more sustainable solution.

Compared to traditional elastomeric compounds, it can be processed using standard single-screw extrusion equipment, eliminating the need for a continuous vulcanization (CV) line. This streamlined manufacturing process can not only reduce production costs but also increase line speed, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for manufacturers. Our advanced development and technical services teams offer a collaborative strategy to optimize equipment and processes, enabling a seamless transition and enhanced performance."
