Colour is important, attracting us to thousands of objects in our everyday lives.  Colour can affect or convey a mood and help in identification of an object.

One of the major advantages of thermoplastic materials is their ability to be coloured to a huge range of colours and shades, from the whites, blacks and greys of consumer electronics and business machines to bright reds, greens and blues that attract the eye and make products more appealing to prospective customers. Colour is also useful in identifying and reinforcing the branding of a product, setting it apart from the competition.

Welcome to the world of Distrupol Colour, where we are dedicated in supplying consistently high quality and tight colour tolerance thermoplastic materials using the latest technology equipment.

Flexibility is one of the hallmarks of Distrupol Colour, with industry-leading lead-times for both colour matching and production.  Colour-matches utilising the latest computerised matching equipment and colour laboratory facilities can be produced in as little as 24 hours, whilst production quantities from a single 15kg bag to truckload quantities can be produced within a short manufacturing lead-time.
