Colorant & Additive Solutions for Appliances There are several advantages to incorporating colorants and performance additives in the form of masterbatches (concentrates) during the molding of plastic parts. COLORANTS & ADDITIVES FOR MOLDED-IN APPEAL AND PERFORMANCE Color Matching Whichever color our customers want for their plastic parts, our color matching experts will strive to develop a corresponding color masterbatch in the relevant polymer grade. These colorants originally developed for black packaging can be used for the black and dark coloration of appliance plastic parts to ensure they are recycled and not wasted.

Molding these high-temperature thermoplastics requires processing equipment capable of melt temperatures up to 400°C and mold temperatures up to 200°C. It’s also true that high processing temperatures can restrict colorant options for these thermoplastics. As in conventional molding, these materials have specific requirements for success in manufacturing.

OnColor™ REC Polymer Colorants OnColor™ REC Polymer Colorants are derived from recycled content, making them a sustainable alternative to concentrates using virgin carbon black. These versatile colorants can be used in multiple resins and are available in standard or custom color solutions.

For packaging tier suppliers and converters, extrusion blow molding is a popular process due to low tool and die cost, fast production rates and ability to mold complex parts. Drop-Impact Failure: weakness of mold leads bottle to break or dent Discoloration: lack of uniform color
