COLORANT OPTIONS
Avoid limiting yourself to either
solid or liquid forms, and focus
on the requirements of the end
application instead
• Widen your materials and
applications possibilities
• Achieve the desired
effect for each part
• Optimize productivity
and system costs by
matching the right colorant
type to the project
ADDING SPECIAL EFFECTS
Further differentiate and add value to your products
• Examples include: metallic, pearlescent, chrome look,
edge glow, sparkle/glitter, neon/fluorescent look,
woodgrain/stone/camouflage

COLORANT EQUIPMENT
Both liquid and solid
colorants can be used in
the same production facility
• Use the right colorant
to significantly impact
production and offer
improvements in terms
of efficiency and quality

Because the toothbrushes were molded in both clear
and opaque resins, the team had to explore two
different avenues—one that preserved clarity and
one that retained opacity.
Coupled with their ability to be used across
a variety of different resins, these antimicrobial
additives provide significant value.
