Color Compounds

Producing the optimum color compounds for plastics processing is both art and science. When developing color, there are numerous, complex variables to be considered. And, once the color compound is determined, what works on paper often behaves differently when it gets run through the machine. Producing a high-quality and consistent material solution requires a keen understanding of the application requirements, and the manufacturing processes involved.

To illustrate, let’s briefly consider the special considerations for rotational molders. In the roto environment, it’s important for the color compound to perform well in the following key areas:

• Proper pigment selection
• Good color match, with special attention to the effects of processing temperatures
• Good mold release

Overall, the roto molding compound is always customized to suit the plastics processing environment. This requires not only extensive scientific knowledge, but also years of experience in real-world scenarios. WinSell brings this combination of expertise to your team to ensure the proper qualification and success of your color compounds.
