Colormark Prüfkörper

The "classic" material testing of plastics has been derived from the testing of metals and modified plastics, for example, the modulus of elasticity in the tensile measurement and others. However, plastics have a product group on "stand-alone" properties that can’t be mapped or patchy with conventional test equipment and test specimens of metals or other material groups. Thus, a customer of the masterbatch manufacturer can assess the dispersion, the color strength and brilliance in front of his own mold trials, injection-molded test specimens are usually with each newly developed color masterbatch patterns in granular form, also the producer delivered to the customer. The customer now screened from the masterbatch in their own process, injection molding or extrusion parts. The moldings produced and delivered to the sample specimen, often in rectangular plate form with 2mm wall thickness, form the basis for the customer's approval of the developed masterbatch setting of suppliers. But there are additional properties of a plastic molding, which can be crucial in the overall assessment. In order to keep the effort and the necessary creation of specimens within narrow limits, the idea was developed as many plastic typical characteristics affecting color perception using to represent only one specimen.
