Mould-in-colour
What is moulded-in-colour injection moulding?
By using pre-coloured thermoplastic granules, masterbatch, solvents, or dry pigments, moulded-in-colour injection moulding is a process that yields parts in practically any colour of your choice. Moulded-in-colour parts eliminate the need for expensive, time-consuming, and environmentally-impactful downstream processes like painting.
Examples of moulded-in-colour parts include automotive parts, and consumer goods, especially appliances, electronics, and toys. Engineering Plastics offers moulded-in-colour services for part volumes from as few as 1,000 parts.
