In today’s competitive plastics industry, colour isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about precision, performance, and reliability. Whether you’re producing consumer goods, automotive parts, medical equipment, or industrial components, the ability to achieve consistent, high-quality colour in your polymer materials is critical.

At Plascolour, we specialise in custom colour compounding, delivering engineered solutions that meet even the most demanding specifications.

Why Choose Specialist Colour Compounding?

When it comes to colouring plastics, compounding offers a level of control and consistency that’s hard to match. Unlike standard masterbatch or on-the-line pigment addition, our specialist compounding process ensures:

  • Precise colour control: Every batch is carefully matched and tested to meet your exact requirements, so you can rely on colour consistency across all your products.
  • Enhanced performance: We can incorporate functional additives such as UV stabilisers, flame retardants, anti-static agents, and more — engineered into the material itself.
  • Material integrity: Compounded material is fully homogenised, reducing the risk of streaks, spots, or other inconsistencies.

For manufacturers who need their products to perform — and look — perfectly, specialist compounding is the ideal solution.

Toll Compounding: Make the Most of Your Material

In addition to creating specialist compounds, Plascolour also offers a toll compounding service, helping customers get more value from their own material stock.

We can process your supplied polymer, whether it’s virgin resin or clean, contamination-free regrind, into a high-quality compounded material ready for production. Toll compounding allows you to:

  • Reduce material waste by reusing regrind effectively.
  • Ensure consistent quality and colour even when using recycled material.
  • Keep costs down without compromising on performance.

Our toll compounding service is particularly popular among manufacturers looking to improve sustainability and minimise waste in their processes.
