Consider combining comfort with color and performance properties using enhanced soft touch GLS™ TPE materials for even better results.
Impactful Color: TPEs can be customized with bright colors and special effects such as glimmers, sparkles and pearlescents, as well as shine levels such as eye-catching high gloss, which conveys a high-tech, high-fashion aesthetic.
TPEs play an important role in this evolution by enabling designers to add ergonomic grips in appealing textures and colors.

OnColor™ REC Polymer Colorants
OnColor™ REC Polymer Colorants are derived from
recycled content, making them a sustainable
alternative to concentrates using virgin carbon
black.
A PCF
calculation for the use of OnColor REC colorants is
available on request.
These versatile
colorants can be used in multiple resins and are
available in standard or custom color solutions.

Rejoin™ PCR Colorants
Rejoin™ PCR Colorants use post-consumer recycled
(PCR) material as a carrier resin to effectively
enable 100% PCR packaging..
With Rejoin PCR Colorants, formulations can
include both pigments and functional additives in
one solution.
Color and mechanical properties are
not negatively affected during manufacture.

Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics
High-Gloss Nylon (PA6) Formulations
High-performing, durable products are at the
forefront of consumer demands.
Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics mimic the
vibrant, high-gloss appearance of paint, while
offering premium UV stability, minimized scratch
appearance, and inherent corrosion resistance.
Available in a wide range of customizable colors,
these impact-modified nylon formulations
eliminate secondary painting processes—unlike
traditional materials such as painted plastics or
metals—providing the added manufacturing and
sustainability benefits of reducing energy use and
removing VOC emissions.

Products like bottled
water, 2-liter soft drinks, salad dressing, mouthwash, liquid hand soap, and
window cleaner are often packaged using PET or rPET.
Another color-related challenge is the multitude of different color streams of
recycled PET, which can limit the uses for recycled colored PET.
In many instances,
these colored bottles may offer an outlet to utilize some of the less transparent rPET
feedstock as the colorant can mask the original recyclate color.
