This is when a color is selected from our unlimited palette, additives are put in and a real molded sample is created using all your specified materials. 

At NPE 2015 next week, samples of building products made with Geon Bold will be on display at PolyOne’s Customer Innovation Center (Room S230 BC).

This can help shorten the time-to-launch of new product ranges, allowing fast and reliable checks prior to initiating sample development and simplifying the overall decision-making process for brand owners and technical colorists.  

It includes the latest injection and compression molding equipment for overmolded composite part sampling and prototyping as well as advanced testing systems for material analysis.

Materials sampling and evaluation Ask your material supplier for more information about startup, processing temperatures, shutdown, drying, gate size, gate types, flow rates, purging, regrind, etc.
