Consider Application issues for Custom Mold Colors :

Many colors available for Injection Molded Products

• Yellow: Isoindolinone. Medium to high color strength.
• Orange: Isoindolinone. Medium to high color strength.
• Red: Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) High color strength.
• Blue: Phthalocyanine. High color strength.
• Violet: Quinacridone.
• Green: Phthalocyanine.
• Brown: Diazo pigments

Stretching & Bending

According to engineerdog.com, stretching and bending the plastic product can cause a “crazing” effect. This is when the color molecules are stretched away from each other, causing voids and various size holes, which turns the color of the area permanently white. Stretching and bending the product can also cause the color to fade or produce a hazing effect.

UV Exposure Inside & Outside

Light fastness is the measure of whether a color will fade or how fast it will fade when the product is used for indoor applications under indoor UV exposure or outdoor applications under outside UV exposure.

Weathering & Heat

Some custom plastic products, which will be used in outdoor applications, will need the application of weather and heat-resistant pigments to resist color fading and alteration.
