Vibrant, Long-Lasting, High-Quality Color Without Painting<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Color is a critical part of many plastic injection molded components, and molded-in color technology enables vibrant, long-lasting, high-quality color and finish without the cost or environmental concerns of painting or plating.<\/p>\n

With molded-in color technology, precolored plastic resins are used in the plastic injection molding process so the molded part emerges in the specified color and finish. No painting, plating or other finishing steps or cost \u2013 and the color is an integral part of the component, not just on the surface, eliminating quality issues due to paint scratching or peeling.<\/p>\n
