Focus: Molding with Colorants

Summary: Plasticorp molds parts in literally dozens of different colors each month. Our extensive experience with matching, mixing, and inspecting color gives us the ability to ensure that our customers receive consistant, quality color parts throughout time and across production runs.

Our estimating and purchasing departments can often give valuable advice concerning which color to use for a particular part. Although the overriding concern is often finding the perfect color match, some consideration must be given to the cost of the colorant to be used. Often two colorants that only differ by a few shades can have dramatically different costs.

During the production run, our quality department uses the latest technology to ensure that all parts meet the quality standards specified. Our photospectrometer color analyzer can identify any parts that have exceeded the color range required.
