ColorMatrix expertise

ColorMatrix is dedicated to advancing the potential of plastics. Our advanced liquid colorant and additive technologies are engineered to improve the aesthetics, sustainability, performance and processing of plastic products. Our additives also play an important role in protecting products that are contained in plastic.

Working closely with our customers, we develop a deep understanding of their production systems. This, combined with our extensive knowledge of polymer processing, enables us to deliver technologies that can add real value.

 Leading in innovation

With a strong focus on innovation and more than 30 global patents, ColorMatrix is now widely considered to be the leader in the research and development of liquid colorant and additives for thermoplastics.

Using state-of-the-art analytical equipment our dedicated R&D teams undertake detailed material analysis, rheological testing and production trials. Their expertise in engineering advanced carrier systems and functional additives is unrivalled.

Committed to sustainability

ColorMatrix has a strong focus on innovating technologies that help our customers to become more sustainable. In the PET packaging sector in particular, we have made advances throughout the PET processing pipeline to improve container recyclability, improve energy efficiencies during processing, reduce material consumption by enabling container lightweighting and developing advanced colorant and additive systems that drive down waste and inventory.;

Internally, in our own production facilities we operate lean manufacturing systems that contribute to optimizing energy efficiency and reducing waste. We continue to look at ways in which we can understand and reduce our carbon footprint.
