ColorMatrix™ Fiber Colorant Solutions introduce late-stage color injection for the spin coloring process, and can help to transform the way safety straps, upholstery fabrics, footwear, apparel, industrial fabrics and more are manufactured.
The new fiber colorant technology combines ColorMatrix liquid concentrates and proprietary high-pressure metering equipment to enable late-stage color injection during melt extrusion spin coloring.
Further, several injection points can be added to run multiple colors or additives at the same time on a single extruder to enhance flexibility.

Colorant Chromatics™ PEI Masterbatch Colors for High-Temperature Injection Molding Applications Colorant Chromatics™ PEI colorants are specifically designed to color polyetherimide (PEI) resin used in high-temperature injection molding applications.
Colorant Chromatics PEI colorants are designed specifically for use in these resins to help boost color consistency and streamline product development for increased speed to market.
Color will vary depending on the coloration design requirements and the end product thickness. ** Pantone reference is the closest possible match.

Design Matters
When designing TPE parts, strive to keep the part wall thicknesses as uniform as possible and radius all sharp corners.
On the other hand, TPEs are most commonly processed using in-line, single-screw injection equipment that has been routinely used in the plastics industry for decades.

Injection molded TPEs are easily processed in complex molds, and it’s easy to add surface texture by bead blasting or chemically texturing the mold.
Cycle times for injection molded TPEs are typically faster than alternative materials, resulting in reduced production costs.
