Molded In Colour Plastic Injection Molding

Molded In-Colour Plastic Injection Molding

The use of molded-in color technology allows plastic injection molded parts to have high-quality colour and finish without the cost or environmental concerns of painting or plating.

A molded-in colour component emerges in the desired colour and finish thanks to precolored plastic resins used in the plastic injection molding process. A vital step in the process is to completely integrate the colour into the component.This eliminates quality issues related to paint scratching or peeling.

Advantages

High-quality, long-lasting, brilliant color and finish – increased customer satisfaction
No paint scratching or peeling issues – coloring is integral to the plastic molded part
Coloring that withstands harsh environments
Lower final part cost – eliminates secondary operations
Less scrap with no secondary painting
Faster part production – color achieved in one step during molding
Flame-retardant grades available
Environmentally friendly manufacturing – eliminates environmental issues of painting, easily recycled, and lowers overall production energy footprint

Applications

Our experience with color plastic injection molding technology includes polycarbonate plastics and polycarbonate plastic blends (PC, PC/ASA, PC/ABS, PC/PET) and thermoplastic olefin plastics (TPO).

A variety of applications can benefit from molded-in color plastic injection molding, such as:

Exterior and interior body panels, fenders and housings
Utility vehicle and recreational vehicle components
Agricultural equipment
Marine
Lawn and garden equipment
Plastic housings
Appliances
