But after sitting on display for a few weeks, they begin to collect dust from pollen, textile fibers and even skin cells. Using antistatic masterbatches can minimize these cleaning processes.  While most antistatic parts do not have good bonding surfaces for paint, masterbatches allow for the inclusion of colorants to achieve molded-in color without the need for paint.

Interested in reaping the benefits of converting a painted part to a molded-in color (MIC) part? It eliminates the need to paint and improves bottom line, while also increasing sustainability. View the video below to learn about: •    Our prediction method that couples mold filling software and rendering software to help identify potential MIC part defects •    How the perception of defects can change with the environment it’s viewed in •    A real-world case study of an automotive trim part where our prediction method was used to understand how the injection strategy and part texture contributed to highlighting, eliminating or masking defects
