Coloring or Tinting Clear Plastic in General
We are often asked about giving color to clear plastic parts. BPI® tints have been
used to color many clear plastics, such as Acrylic (Plexiglas®), Polycarbonate (Lexan®), CR-39®
(plastic eyeglass lens material), Nylon, Fiberglass, Mylar, Cellulose Acetate Butyrate, Vinyl,
some Silicones, Epoxy and many others. We have made special tints for some of these materials,
but many of them can be colored using any of our nearly 200 standard BPI® Molecular Catalytic™
Tints. Usually, these tints must be heated before the color will enter the plastic part and the
color obtained depends on the type of plastic (or the coating on the plastic!) and the temperature
of tinting. The results you would get for your plastic parts can best be determined by testing
them with a heated multicomponent tint such as BPI® Molecular Catalytic™ Black. |
