CPS Color
: 07 May, 2006 (New Product) |
|
|
A revolutionary colorant system developed by CPS COLOR, a pioneer in the field of material colouring systems, has set a new level of production efficiency and economy in the colouring of plastics, imitation leather and leather for car interiors. The system gives plastics and leather manufacturers, for the first time, the flexibility to deliver materials in small colour batches for vehicle upholstery, panels and trim, without compromising cost effectiveness and with production and delivery time-savings. |

A revolutionary colorant system developed by CPS COLOR, a pioneer in the field of material colouring systems, has set a new level of production efficiency and economy in the colouring of plastics, imitation leather and leather for car interiors. The system gives plastics and leather manufacturers, for the first time, the flexibility to deliver materials in small colour batches for vehicle upholstery, panels and trim, without compromising cost effectiveness and with production and delivery time-savings.
raditional colouring processes in the plastics and leather industries are labour-intensive and difficult to manage. Colour must be adjusted for every batch by testing a pigment mix, adjusting it and retesting until it is released for production. The CPS COLOR systems, Auricolor for the plastics and Maestro for the leather industries, are unique. They are based on standardized colorants and controlled dispensing, similar to the technology used by paint retailers to produce customer-specific paint colours. Auricolor and Maestro produce exactly the desired colour in one step by using colorants that are fully controlled for colour and colour strength. The process takes minutes rather than hours and yields completely reproducible results.
With traditional 'trial and error' colouring processes, suppliers of leather and artificial leather cannot predict how long it will take to create a usable pigment mix. This obliges them to maintain a high level of intermediate stocks for rapid delivery. This unpredictability also makes it difficult to achieve full utilization of coating lines. For leather finishers the variation in pigment mixes may make it necessary to coat a hide two or three times before the shade is within specifications, while every additional treatment affects the leather's characteristics and process costs.
The fully controlled and predictable processes of the colorant systems eliminate the need for intermediate stocks, thus freeing capital for other purposes, and making it easier to manage full utilization of coating lines. |
