Software and Spectrophotometers for Plastics

Sustainability and precision in the plastics industry

The plastics industry faces growing challenges regarding sustainability and reducing environmental impact. In this context, colour precision becomes strategic to minimise waste and optimise production processes. Color Work Desk offers comprehensive solutions with spectrophotometers and software that support producers of pellets, extruded materials, bottles, and transparent components, ensuring precise and repeatable colours while promoting a more sustainable approach to manufacturing.

Material complexity and customized solutions

Plastics present unique challenges: from complex shapes to translucent materials, from coloured pellets to transparent preforms with optical brighteners. Color Work Desk solutions are customizable for every type of challenge and budget, offering dedicated instrumentation for each application. Our systems effectively handle material variability, ensuring consistent quality control throughout the entire production workflow.

Benefits for customers

Multi-material Quality Control

Accuracy on every type of plastic and shape
Color Work Desk spectrophotometers accurately measure the color of pellets, extruded materials, uniquely shaped bottles, and transparent or translucent components. Advanced technology also manages materials with optical brighteners and special finishes, providing reliable measurements on any plastic substrate. This comprehensive control minimises waste and ensures consistent quality across every production batch.

Efficiency for Masterbatch Producers

Competitive advantage through precision and speed
Color Work Desk solutions enable masterbatch producers to meet stringent and complex specifications, delivering competitive proposals quickly. Production uniformity and waste reduction ensure higher profitability, while formulation precision guarantees that each batch precisely meets the end customer’s requirements.

Extrusion Process Optimisation

Continuous control from raw materials to shipment
From incoming raw materials to finished product verification, Color Work Desk ensures colour accuracy throughout the extrusion process. Reliable measurement tools minimize waste and costs, while continuous monitoring guarantees that each process stage meets defined quality standards, optimising overall production efficiency.

Integrated workflow and digital standards

The digitalisation of colour standards is transforming the plastics industry, allowing producers to set clear colour expectations and enabling suppliers to achieve colour precision with less waste. Color Work Desk facilitates this transition by providing tools that create and manage accurate digital standards, supporting a more sustainable and efficient workflow throughout the global supply chain.

Special effect finishes and specialised applications

The increasing demand for special effect finishes in plastics requires increasingly sophisticated measurement technologies. Color Work Desk offers dedicated solutions to manage metallic, pearlescent, and complex texture effects, ensuring each product maintains the desired aesthetic characteristics. From the inspiration phase to the final product, our systems ensure complete control over every chromatic aspect of the workflow.
