Engineering polymers are plastics with outstanding mechanical properties such as rigidity, durability and low warpage which make them useful in the manufacture of structural products like gears, bearings, electronics and auto parts.

We are currently at the forefront of engineering materials, such as:

• ABS
• Acetyl
• PET
• PBT
• Polycarbonate
• Polyurethane
• Glass filled nylon
• Colour matched Polyurethane bakkie bin lining

PlastiColors specializes in colouring a wide range of engineering plastics to deliver a complete solution to your masterbatch needs. We have established relationships with technical specialists in Europe and America to ensure that we are always kept abreast of the latest technology, which ensures that your masterbatch can cope with the most challenging applications possible.

For applications which benefit from having a liquid carrier, we can offer finely dispersed pigments in a large range of liquid carriers. Some include:

• Polyurethane
• Phthalates
• Resins
• Plasticisers for PVC
• Mineral Oil

We have had huge success with our liquid colours range – helping customers reduce cost, increase production and improve the quality of their final product. Our technical team would be pleased to assess the feasibility of using Liquid Colours in your production application.
