Over the years, Spiratex has offered an ever increasing amount of colors that can be extruded into ULTREXTM UHMW/PE profiles, shapes, and tubes. The colorants are blended into the raw resin material so the entire thickness of the part is colored. This allows for a more consistent look and feel, as well as greater durability.
These standard colors can be easily quoted, ordered and produced in our typical glassy, glossy Spiratex superb surface finish. This list is meant to aid our customers in narrowing down their color choices. Actual color chips can be sent for final approval.
In the event you need a color not currently offered or want a color match, Spiratex will work with our colorant suppliers to meet your exact specification. Accordingly, the timeframe to make a correct color match will result in a longer lead time and the associated cost will be slightly higher.
Our UHMW/PE color selection has something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a subtle accent or a bold statement. Our colorants are applied during the extrusion process, so no special coatings or finishes are required. This makes our UHMW/PE colors environmentally friendly and safe for use in a wide variety of applications. So if you’re looking for a way to add some personality to your next project, consider using one of our UHMW/PE colors. You won’t be disappointed!
Since UHMW/PE is translucent, it can be difficult to achieve consistent coloration throughout the entire thickness of the material. To overcome this challenge, Spiratex has developed a state-of-the-art process that produces impeccable quality. The colorants are blended into the raw resin material, so the entire thickness of the part is colored. This process results in UHMW/PE parts with consistent coloration, making it easier to achieve the desired look for your application.
