Plastic Colorants for SHEET EXTRUDERS

Sheet extrusion is the process of producing a continuous single, or multilayer gauge sheet made typically of a thermoformed polymeric material. An extruder, consisting of a barrel and combination conveying and mixing screw, forces the material through a slot die. The material is conveyed through rollers that keeps it flat as it is cooled. The resulting sheet is then trimmed and cut to a desired dimension, thermoformed into various hollow shapes, or spooled onto a roll.

Color Concentrate

COLOR CONCENTRATE

The necessary pigments needed to achieve the target color are compounded at a high concentration into a “carrier” resin that is the same as, or compatible with, the end use polymeric resin. They are used at a prescribed let-down ratio (LDR) and mixed with a polymer base to be processed into the customer’s finished parts. Learn More >

PVC Compounds

PVC COMPOUNDS

Specialty blends of PVC resin, additives, and processing aids tailored to the physical properties needed by a customer’s product and process. These are formulated for their service environment, be it indoor or outdoor. Learn More >

Additive Compounds

ADDITIVE COMPOUNDS

Concentrated or ready to use products containing additives for special performance or aesthetic properties including light diffusion, UV Light protection, Electrostatic dissipation (ESD), Antimicrobial, flame retardants, and gloss reduction. Learn More >

Liquid Colorants

LIQUID COLORANTS

Same as the pelletized version, only the polymer carrier is replaced by a liquid carrier. This allows the pigments to be highly dispersed and optimizes the color and capabilities of the pigments and additives. Color Master employs the use of non-toxic liquid carriers that can be easily cleaned up with water and mild detergents such as Simple Green. This product is packaged and intended for use in a closed system. It does require the purchase of a relatively low-cost dosing pump. Learn More >

Specialty Compounds

SPECIALTY COMPOUNDS

Enhanced, ready to mold products. Typically compounded with functional additives or fillers for special attributes or specific physical properties. Learn More >

Dry Colors

DRY COLORS

The necessary pigments needed to achieve the target color are specially mixed with a dispersion agent, or process aid. While cost effective, the handling and cleanup of loose powder in a machine can be labor intensive. Learn More >
