Plastic Colorants Guide for Injection Molded Parts

Many times — perhaps even most of the time — the standard brown or translucent coloring of a resin for injection molding will suit the requirements for the finished part just fine. For internal parts, small components and the like, the function is much more important than the look of the part. Sometimes, however, the aesthetics and finished appearance of a part play a bigger role, and that standard, unattractive coloring just won’t cut it. Perhaps the part is an external component. Maybe it is being created for color-coded assembly. Or, you just want to stand apart from competitors in some way.
