Research and Development
Innovation starts here
R&D at Global Colors
At Global Colors, innovation fuels everything we do. Our R&D centers - each equipped with advanced instrumentation and staffed by expert colorists and polymer scientists - drive rapid, high-performance development across industries. Local labs enable faster color development, quicker approvals, and smoother scale-up, closer to your production lines.
Color-matching excellence
We maintain an extensive color library of over 5,000 standard shades, and we create at least 1,000 new color formulations each year for customers. Using spectrophotometers and automated pigment dosing, we deliver rapid, accurate color matching - even for metallics, fluorescents, and special-effect pigments.
Additive mastery
From UV stabilizers and flame retardants to multi-functional additives, our teams solve complex material challenges across industries. We lead in sectors like agriculture, where we develop long-lasting formulations for UV-intense environments.
Lab-to-line validation
Our labs simulate real-world processing, from injection molding to film extrusion, to ensure every masterbatch performs in your environment. All products undergo rigorous lab and pilot-line testing before scale-up.
Sustainable development
We're pioneering bio-based and biodegradable masterbatches, and developing additive systems that improve recyclability and allow higher PCR content. Our R&D pipeline is aligned with circular economy goals and tomorrow’s regulatory standards.
Technology and Equipment
Built for precision.
Built for precision.
Designed for performance.
Advanced Extrusion Systems
Across all plants, we operate the latest technology extruders for uniform pigment and additive dispersion, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency.
Automated and Data-Driven
Our lines are fully automated with real-time process monitoring, from feeding to packaging. Closed systems minimize contamination and maximize traceability.
Flexible, Lean Manufacturing
Quick-change extruder configurations allow fast shifts between product types or polymers. Modular lines and efficient workflows reduce downtime and boost responsiveness.
Comprehensive Equipment Suite
From mixers and pelletizers to filtration and classification systems, we equip each facility to meet diverse technical demands, including high-loading pigment concentrates and delicate additive blends.
Maintenance and Upgrades
We invest continuously in new equipment and energy-efficient systems - from inverter drives to heat recovery - maximizing both quality and sustainability.
Quality Assurance
Reliable. Traceable. Proven.
End-to-End Quality Control
From raw material testing to final product validation, quality is embedded into every step—ensuring masterbatches that perform exactly as expected.
Certified and Standardized
All major plants operate under ISO, with standardized testing (ISO/ASTM) for properties like dispersion, melt flow, ΔE color difference, and additive functionality.
In-Process and Final Testing
Spectrophotometers, filter pressure tests, let-down trials, and more ensure every product meets specification. QA labs release only verified batches.
Customer Confidence
We support clients with regulatory documentation (e.g., FDA, EU food-contact, RoHS) and offer full transparency on compliance and raw material safety.
