TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS
Select Rapid Color Prototyping Technology
includes:
Select Color Cell
• Color scanning or matching
• Creation of color plaques
Online Software
• Formulation and price generator
• Web-based processor
Automated Dispenser
• Globally standard base colors
• Consistent production from recipes
HOW IT WORKS
Select allows you to:
• Instantaneously create a new color using
your own standards, spectrophotometer or
colorimeter data, or the software’s
built-in design tools
• Produce small quantities of color masterbatch
for use in validating your color match
• Combine advanced liquid colorants,
cloud-access software and automated
dispensing technology
• Carry out color modeling and rapid iteration
Select also helps you:
• Choose the right color by providing a quick
and cost effective way to model, sample, and
test color options
• Facilitate prototyping and variation testing

Color can help differentiate your product from the competition on a retail shelf, dazzle your customers with a variety of unique choices, or even add an element of safety to your design.
Additionally, LSR has a specific gravity that is 20% higher than TPEs (+/- 1.12 versus +/- 0.89), which means LSR will produce 20% fewer parts for every pound of material used.
