Handrails

When original equipment manufacturers, processors and material manufacturers work closely together, the result is a highly successful color concentrate application.

The key to a precision color match is to collect accurate information on the application and the processing conditions. This information controls the cost and performance of the color concentrate.

If the original equipment manufacturer provides accurate specifications in the following criteria, the color concentrate manufacturer has a hood basis for proceeding with a quality match:

• Required closeness of match (critical, good, commercial).
• Specific type and grade of resin.
• FDA/NSF requirements.
• Opacity (transparent, translucent, opaque).
• Type of exposure to which final product will be subjected (indoor, outdoor).
• Additives (ultraviolet stabilizer, lubricant, antistat).
