Plastics

In plastics manufacturing, colour is a significant attribute for many final products. For masterbatchers who are responsible for blending polymers with pigments ranging from subtly natural greens to neon oranges, achieving consistent and accurate colour formulation can be challenging.

Colour formulation is a necessary step in the masterbatch process, where precise colours are developed to meet specific customer requirements. Integrating formulation software like Colibri can ensure your colour development process is repeatable in the lab and production. This consistent, precise workflow can significantly help reduce discrepancies that may lead to colour rejections.

Traditionally, colour systems have been isolated from the rest of the workflow. However, with the integrated capability of Colibri formulation software, we can streamline your colour solution for optimal efficiency. Through seamless custom integrations, Colibri can communicate directly with systems like ERPs, ensuring smooth information flow from order to shipment in your development process.

Digital colour management is crucial in the manufacturing process. Using a top-quality Datacolor spectrophotometer and colour formulation software helps achieve the right colour and ensures that the product has the necessary physical properties for its intended use. Having superior control of colour in manufacturing automotive parts, children’s toys, construction materials, and home furnishings will help maintain consistent colours regardless of the environment.

With our extensive expertise, Xyz Technology is well-equipped to assist you in improving your colour management, from masterbatching to quality assurance for the final product.
