PVC COMPOUNDS

Color Master Inc. Specialty Compounding offers both flexible (soft) and rigid PVC compounds two forms:

Pellet form
Powder form.

Our staff has over 125 years of collective knowledge in the production, development and sales of high quality flexible and rigid PVC compounds and ABS plastic pellets.

Rigid PVC and Soft PVC compounds differ in composition, but both compounds are known to be high in flame resistance, UV resistance, Chemical resistance and Ozone resistance. State-of-the-art computer controlled processes are utilized to produce the most consistent, highest quality PVC Compounds in the Industry. Our Kendallville, Indiana location gives us geographic advantage of being a manufacturer of both soft and rigid PVC in the Midwest.

Injection Molders

INJECTION MOLDERS

Injection molding of thermoplastics is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting heated, molten material into a mold. The material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold, where it cools, or cures, and hardens to the configuration of the mold. Learn More >

Sheet Extruders

SHEET EXTRUDERS

Sheet extrusion is the process of producing a continuous single gauge sheet made typically of a thermoform 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, or spooled onto a roll. Learn More >

Profile Extruders

PROFILE EXTRUDERS

Similar to sheet extrusion, profile extrusion is the process of producing a continuous multi gauge profile part made typically of a thermoform polymeric material. An extruder, consisting of a barrel and combination conveying and mixing screw, forces the material through a die. The material is conveyed through another set of dies in a cooling tank that maintain the desired profile until it it fully cooled and set. The resulting product is then cut to a desired dimension, or spooled onto a roll. Learn More >

Blow Molders

BLOW MOLDERS

Similar to injection molding, blow molding of thermoplastics is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting heated, molten material into a mold. The material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold. Air is then forced, or blown, into the mold where the material forms around the air bubble and it cools, or cures, to harden to the configuration of the mold. Learn More >

Roto Molders

ROTO MOLDERS

Rotational or “Roto” molding is a slow and simple process where a thermoplastic material is placed inside an enclosed mold. The mold is then clamped inside a chamber and is set to rotate in what is typically a dual axis frame. During the rotation, cycles of heating and cooling take place allowing the material to flow and form, through gravitational force, to the configuration of the mold. Learn More >
