Recyclate coloring
- NEW: The CLOOPMIX® system from OPM for inline coloring of recycled materials
- Precise liquid color dosing
- Intelligent recipe management
- Real-time color control with GranuTrack®
- Automatic adjustment by intelligent control algorithm in the event of color deviations
- Consistent color quality despite material fluctuations, with color deviations of less than ΔE 1

Extrusion
- Films ⇒ Streak and stain-free
- Compounds ⇒ Efficient self-coloring
- Profiles and fibers ⇒ Reduction in dyeing costs
- Color injection downstream ⇒ Time and material savings when changing colors
- Examples: ABS edgebands, PVC skirting boards, technical compounds, PP films, PVC flooring, PP fibers, HD-PE sheets, filaments for 3D printing, PVC window profiles and much more.
Injection molding
- Thick-walled opaque parts ⇒ Savings potential for coloring costs, uniform coloring
- Thin-walled transparent parts ⇒ less dosing, no specks, no streaks
- Hot runner ⇒ fast color changes (30 % – 50 % fewer cleaning cycles)
- Engineering plastics (TPU, PBT, PA, ABS, etc.) ⇒ Low raw material costs
- Commodities (PE, PP, PS) ⇒ Reduction of the amount of colorant
- Examples: PP pin sleeves, TPU shoe soles, PE and PP closures, PC and ABS containers, PS cutlery, and much more.
Mixing with liquid pre-products
- LSR ⇒ silicone oil as a carrier – also with approval for food contact on request
- PVC ⇒ PVC plasticizer (plastisol) can be used as a carrier for liquid paint or paint paste, making it 100% compatible
- Reactive resins and foams ⇒ Liquid color is premixed in one of the liquid components, e.g. with polyol for PUR
- Examples: Silicone components, acrylic resin sheets, PVC exercise balls, PU integral foams, flexible PU foams, PU shoe soles, adhesives, sealants, PVC boat fenders and buoys, and much more.
