Plastic
Meet every plastic guideline, exceed every expectation
From engineering plastics to paints, coatings, and inks, Polyventive has all the product technologies needed for high-quality plastics at every stage of your process.
Whether it’s plastic for toys, containers, vehicle parts, electronics, and footwear, your products will have an intense, transparent color that lasts as long as your consumers need.
Achieving vibrant, lasting color in plastic applications requires more than selecting the right pigment. The interplay between colorant selection and your specific processing conditions determines whether you’ll get consistent results across production runs or face batch-to-batch variations that create quality issues.
Processing temperatures impact colorant stability differently depending on resin type. What works beautifully in polyethylene may experience thermal degradation in polycarbonate applications where melt temperatures exceed 280°C. Our technical team evaluates these thermal boundaries alongside your production parameters to recommend dyes and pigments that maintain color integrity throughout processing.
Dispersion quality also affects final appearance. Poorly dispersed pigments create streaking, color inconsistency, or visible agglomerates in transparent applications. The auxiliaries we provide support uniform colorant distribution during compounding, which translates to parts that meet aesthetic specifications without requiring excessive colorant loading.
Application-Specific Performance Beyond Color
Different end uses place different demands on plastic formulations. Toy manufacturers need additives that comply with strict safety standards regarding heavy metal content and migration testing. Electronics housings require materials that meet flame retardancy classifications without compromising surface finish or dimensional stability.
Food contact applications bring regulatory complexity that varies by market. Migration limits, extraction testing protocols, and approved substance lists differ between FDA requirements and European regulations.
Our knowledge of these frameworks helps manufacturers select appropriate dyes, pigments, and auxiliaries that satisfy compliance requirements while delivering the performance characteristics your products need.
You have a lot of choices when it comes to suppliers of dyes for plastics, pigments, and specialty additives, but you deserve the highest level of personalization and attention for your specific needs. Our experience and product lines hold a global standard with an intimate approach that ensures a true collaboration and the most impactful outcomes.
