O'Neil can custom match metallic, pearlescent, Special effect,
Neon, and standard colorants to customer submitted targets.
Our main product is "Color concentrates (masterbatches)"
or "compounds", formulated for specific end products. Our
colorants are used in Injection Molding, Blow Molding, Extrusion- either sheet
of profile, and roto molding. We also provide colorants for film
extrusion.
Concentrate- A mixture of pigments or additives in a carrier resin, usually
at 50% concentration. Ratios may vary with pigment or additive. Products are
non-dusting and excellent color consistency. Used at a specific ratio 1-lb/50
lbs. resin or 2%.
Compounded Color- Color and additives added into final resin. Ready to use
without mixing. Very good for hard to color resins or thin films where higher
pigment concentrations can be obtained. More expensive than concentrates. Better
color and compound consistency. Less color variation than concentrates.
Additives and fillers can be added.
O'Neil Color manufactures "Dry Dispersions" or
pigment blends that are sold either in Bulk pounds, or pre-weighed Units for a
specific batch size. This material finds its way into Rotational Molders
that blend our colorant dry with their powdered resin. They may mold
storage tanks, dunnage carts, outdoor playgrounds, boats, or any other large
parts that do not have to have a perfect surface finish.
Dry Dispersions- High intensity mixing of pigments. Must be added to base
resin. Product is dusty, and cleanup is required. Not recommended with material
that requires drying. Least expensive of all colorants. Use when short runs or
very short lead times are required.
