Colorflexx® - The service brand for commodity styrenics

  BASF’s Solution:
Colorflexx®

  Description:
Flexible system solution from BASF for the self-coloring of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and PS (polystyrene) plastics, based on close co-operation with master-batch suppliers.

  Development partner:
Plastics converters, e.g. manufacturers of mobile phone covers

  Customer’s Product:
Plastics based products

  Customer benefit:
Manufacturers of plastic components purchase uncolored, standard ABS and PS plastic from BASF rather than colored material. The desired color is provided by color concentrates known as master-batches, which are supplied by partner companies. Self-coloring of the standard plastic is considerably faster than producing colored ABS or PS on a large scale. As a result, manufacturers can respond more flexibly to new color trends, and they also benefit from lower system costs. Uniform grades of standard ABS or PS from BASF are available worldwide.

  Benefit for BASF:
Colorflexx® works according to the principle that each partner is responsible for what they do best. This way BASF can build on its sophisticated technology to supply high-quality standard products from its world-scale plants – and benefit from scaling effects.
