These components win by losing the paint and saying yes to molded-in color
Advances in molded-in color technologies allow geometrically complex parts to be produced without compromising on color.
That’s also the amount that you can save by switching to molded-in color components.

Colorant Chromatics™ PEI Masterbatch
Colors for High-Temperature Injection Molding Applications
Colorant Chromatics™ PEI colorants are specifically
designed to color polyetherimide (PEI) resin used in
high-temperature injection molding applications.
Formulations are
heavy metal free and manufactured using state-
of-the-art pigment dispersion techniques that
improve homogenization and color distribution
during injection molding.

Colorant Chromatics™ PSU, PES and PPSU Masterbatches
Colors for High-Temperature Applications
Colorant Chromatics™ PSU/PES/PPSU colorants
are designed to color polysulfone (PSU),
polyethersulfone (PES), and polyphenylsulfone
(PPSU) resins used in high-temperature injection
molding and extrusion applications.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Consistent coloring and improved
homogenization with the polymer for more
efficient processing and waste reduction
• Opaque PSU/PES/PPSU masterbatches
available with shorter lead times in a range
of readily available standard colors
• Minimum order quantities as low as 5kg (10lbs)
for improved inventory control
• Robust colorant formulations mean zero
disruption to existing molding processes,
allowing manufacturers to bring products
to market faster and without investing in
new machinery
