The efficiency of the design may be verified by recording the time it takes to make a complete color change while producing parts.

Injection moldable and colorable, they offer design
flexibility and easy processing for faster prototyping
and shorter lead times, helping you get to market
faster.

They also add important characteristics, such as
SWELLCOAT® water-blocking, water repellence, adhe-
sion, color, and wear and UV-resistance to these and
many other applications.

In addition,
various rigid thermoplastics can have reinforcements and/or additives, such as fillers and fibers or color
masterbatches, which not only can alter the resultant properties of the substrate, but also the surface chemistry.

These highly
engineered formulations deliver comparable
performance to traditional PA66 glass fiber-
filled materials, plus the bio-derived solutions
offer lower warpage and have excellent surface
appearance and colorability.
