Masterbatch

Teknor Apex stands out for its masterbatch solutions, offering both standard and custom blends meaning you get a highly concentrated mixture of pigments and additives pre-dispersed in a carrier resin. This translates to efficient coloring, consistent results, and the ability to add specific properties like flame retardancy or UV resistance—all in a single step during your plastic processing. Whether you need vibrant colors for consumer goods or performance-enhancing additives for industrial applications, Teknor Apex's masterbatch solutions can streamline your process and elevate your end product.

Dry Colorants

Teknor Apex's dry colorant portfolio enables optimal color options for rotational molders. Our knowledge of pigment and resin chemistry ensures vibrant, consistent colors while our expertise in rotational molding ensures a smooth process. We offer a range of standard colors for quick turnaround, along with the ability to custom-blend colors and add functional additives to meet your exact specifications. Dry colors can be supplied in bulk or custom pre-weighed unitized packages.

Pre-Colored Compounds

Simplify your production process and achieve consistent, high-quality results with Teknor Apex's pre-colored compounds. Unlike standard resins, these pre-blended materials come in a wide range of colors and are ready for fabrication when received by the molder translating to faster cycle times, reduced waste, and complete color control. Custom pre-colored compounds are available for all thermoplastic resins as well as bioresins and are suitable for use in all fabrication processes.

Low Heat Build Colorants

SpectraCool™ technology from Teknor Apex is a game-changer for dark-colored plastic parts. It reduces heat build-up during sun exposure, minimizing warping and keeping the surface cooler to the touch. This leads to increased product lifespan, improved aesthetics by preventing distortion, even potential cost savings by reducing reliance on heat-resistant additives. Create a more durable and comfortable end product with SpectraCool.

Special Effects

Infuse your plastic parts with visual intrigue with Teknor Apex special effects. Imagine adding a frosted translucence to highlight details or a burst of fluorescence to grab attention. Our offerings go beyond typical colors, allowing you to achieve unique aesthetics like a subtle shimmer or a sophisticated pearlescent finish. Elevate your product's visual appeal and set it apart on the shelf—and in the marketplace.
