Our Compounding Options

We offer a range of compounding methods designed to match your material type, production process, and budget:

Fully Compounded Colour

Pigments are embedded directly into the polymer during extrusion, resulting in a uniform, ready-to-use coloured compound.

Benefits:

• Precise and repeatable colour results
• Predictable performance characteristics
• Clean and easy handling

Limitations:

• Less flexible in terms of post-processing or colour adjustments

Masterbatch

Highly concentrated colour pellets (up to 80% pigment) are mixed with the base polymer at specific ratios. Available as both polymer-specific and universal carrier types.

Benefits:

• Excellent colour control
• Cleaner and more efficient than dry blends
• Minimal drying issues

Limitations:

• Compatibility may vary depending on base polymer
• Requires accurate dosing for consistent results

Dry Blend / Dry Colour

A mix of colourants and polymers—often combined with dispersion aids to help bind pigments to the surface of the base material.

Benefits:

• Cost-effective and quick to prepare
• Ideal for short runs or prototyping

Limitations:

• Messier than other methods
• Colour consistency may vary between batches
