Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics
Artisan™ thermoplastics are vibrant, pre-colored high-gloss, scratch resistant engineered polymers
formulated to replace paint for superior results.
Can cause issues with color variation,
surface defects, loss of properties and may affect the weatherability.
Cut vent depths to 0.0007″–0.0015″
Draft Angle Maintain a minimum draft angle of 1° per side

RHB products can also be used in bottle polymer
destined for water applications, but this usage
decision depends on the application tolerance to
color which must be determined via marketing
specialists prior to any trials.
The proprietary ColorMatrix technology has been
shown to deliver superior energy saving at bottle
blowing whilst at the same time imparting an
attractive light blue-shaded color to the preforms
(and bottles) without contributing to bottle haze.
Re-establishment of the toner package will be
required to achieve proper resin color.
