Silvergate Plastics Launches New Frosted Effect Colour Masterbatch

30/05/09

Silvergate Plastics, Wrexham-based colour masterbatch manufacture, is delighted to announce the launch of its new product, ColourFrost, a colour masterbatch that delivers a frosted finish to mouldings.

Designed and developed specifically for packaging applications, ColourFrost is best used with transparent colours. It 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 the entire process ofcolour spraying and, as well as taking cost out of the operation, also substantially reduces a pack’s carbon footprint.

Managing Director 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."
