CLICK HERE CREATIVE COLOR Choose Your Color Wisely Color choices have traditionally been limited for these materials because the high temperature required to process them destroys many pigments that are used in engineering thermoplastics.
Using pre-colored resin, where every pellet is precisely the right color 2.
Concentrates, however, are typically lower in cost and can be a good choice when exact color is not critical, such as for color coding in wire and cable applications.
