TECHNOLOGY GUIDE
This guide was created as a handy reference tool for automotive
designers.
It is intended to serve as an inspiration for you in
exploring colors and effects to meet material design goals.
Color effects are suggested based on several criteria, including:
• Specific applications
• Ability to execute the effect in distinct resin grades
• Performance requirements of the application
If you do not see the color effect you are looking for, please
contact us to collaborate on a solution.
