Mold-in-Color Plastic for Durable, Consistent Color
Mold-in-color plastic delivers long-lasting, fade-resistant color that runs throughout the part—unlike surface treatments like paint, which can chip, scratch, or wear away. It’s a smart choice for maintaining visual appeal and brand consistency in injection-molded parts.
While NetProto offers secondary finishing options like painting and plating, these add cost and production time. Mold-in-color ensures a uniform, embedded color without the drawbacks of surface coatings.
Benefits of Mold-in-Color:
- Solid, uniform color throughout the part
- Won’t chip or fade like paint
- Color matching available via standard color codes or Pantone (PMS)
Important Notes:
- Exact color matches aren’t guaranteed; customers must verify test parts meet requirements
- Some colorants may affect the base resin’s properties or regulatory ratings (FDA, ISO, USP, UL)
- Ensure compatibility of resin and colorant for your application
