WHAT COLORS AND MATERIALS ARE ‘IN’?
The lack of connection to emerging
color trends can be detrimental to success.
New materials, colors, textures and visual effects are
constantly being developed.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-05/avnt-tpe-beginner-guide-fin.pdf
Can you color TPEs?
Can you color TPEs?
Because their natural color is
usually cream, white, beige or translucent,
TPEs are very easy to color.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-10/light-diffusion-case-study.pdf
This optimized combination of additive and color
technology eliminated the “hot spots,” and achieved
the sought-after bright white light, and streamlined
the entire manufacturing process by enabling in-house
production.
The OEM was able to purchase
virgin resin and add only the necessary amounts of
color and diffusion additives required to achieve peak
performance.
Smartbatch solutions incorporate color, light diffusion
technology and flame retardant into a single
masterbatch.
