When designing with metals like aluminum,
zinc, iron, steel, and other alloys, you may face processing challenges and complexity .
These materials have been formulated using select metallic fillers and
engineered thermoplastic resins to have densities similar to actual metals, while also providing the
design flexibility and processing ease of conventional thermoplastics.
It is used to prevent metal
or unmelted pellets from entering the mold .

The OnColor™ FX™ Special Effect Colorants portfolio
includes a myriad of effects including metallics (e.g.,
silver, copper), natural look (e.g., wood grain, granit,
speckles), gloss and brilliance (e.g., pearlescence,
iridescence, frost), high-visibility (e.g., fluorescence,
sparkles) and color-changing (e.g., photochromic,
thermochromic).
