Developed specifically for packaging applications, ColourFrost is best used with transparent colours to deliver frosted effect
Silvergate Plastics, the colour masterbatch manufacturer, has launched ColourFrost, a colour masterbatch which delivers a frosted finish to its mouldings.
Designed and developed specifically for packaging applications, ColourFrost is best used with transparent colours, will deliver to bottles, containers, closures or any other moulding a frosted effect normally only achieved by post moulding spraying.
ColourFrost is clearly a substantial development in packaging manufacture as it eliminates a whole process, colour spraying, and thus, as well as taking cost out of the operation also substantially reduces a pack’s carbon footprint.
Business Manager Tony Bestall said: “The formula behind ColourFrost is something that I have been working on for some time and the new product, which can work with any polymer, is particularly effective with PET and other highly environmentally efficient polymers for packaging applications.’
