FusionFX masterbatch coloring technology, which will provide manufacturers of plastic injection molded products with some new options for color effects, has been introduced by Ampacet Corporation. The process blends one or more individual masterbatch colors together during the feeding and blending stage of the molding process. This mix is then fed into the injection mold with the virgin polypropylene plastic. FusionFX maintains the physical properties of a part because the masterbatch is made of a compatible polyolefin resin. The proprietary technology works by allowing the masterbatch to melt at a slower rate during the melting and extruding stage of the process. The result is a randomly color-flecked design that is consistent across a product line, but with no two products looking exactly alike.
Applications are mainly in the manufacturing industry for consumer goods, including sporting goods, housewares, caps and closures, toys, personal care/cosmetic products, appliances, sports vehicles, accessories and outdoor furniture.
