COLOR ADDITIVES FOR PLASTIC MATERIALS

Coloring plastic materials is done to enhance and differentiate the visual appeal of the produced product. For this reason, color additives are used in the plastic production process.
Color additives are micro particles added to plastic materials and come in various sizes and shapes. The most commonly used color additives are organic and inorganic pigments.

Organic pigments may contain colored polymers or colored molecules, while inorganic pigments are metal oxides or other minerals.

The dosage of color additives may vary depending on the type of plastic material, color selection, structure, and the type of product being produced. Additionally, the use of color additives may interact with other additives present in the plastic material, making it important to determine the correct dosage.

Color additives not only provide color, but also enhance the UV resistance and corrosion resistance of plastic materials. Moreover, color additives do not affect the structure and properties of plastic materials.
