Color plays a critical role in both extrusion and injection molding—but the challenges in achieving consistent color differ significantly between the two processes. Knowing what to look out for can save time, scrap, and customer complaints. Key Color Challenges in Extrusion Line Speed VariabilityFaster or uneven extrusion speeds can affect pigment distribution, leading to inconsistent color bands. Melt Temperature FluctuationsEven slight temperature inconsistencies can alter color, especially with heat-sensitive pigments. [...]
