MetaLustre^TM Color Concentrates

MetaLustre^TM color concentrates provide a luxurious metallic look while enabling manufacturers to cut back the development work normally required to ensure that multiple packages for a brand look identical, no matter how many different plastic materials are selected.

MetaLustre^TM color concentrates are available in Aluminum, Blue Steel, Brass, Copper, Gold and Pewter. For each color, Teknor Color Company has multiple formulations designed to deliver an identical hue in packages made from various resins. This includes bottles, jars, tubes, boxes, lids, covers, pumps, and other containers and components. Formulations are available for PET, PETG, LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, PP (including clarified and copolymer types), ionomer, crystal PS, HIPS, SAN, ABS, PC, nylon, and TPEs used in “soft-touch” applications.

MetaLustre^TM color concentrates eliminate much of the time and guesswork involved in developing a new family of packages. Multiple packages produced with conventional concentrates of the same color often show visible variation that can be prevented only through extensive trial runs in the development stage. For each of the six colors in the MetaLustre color concentrate line, Teknor Color has formulations applicable with all base resins likely to be encountered in packaging.
