Launch of the new POLYTREND® Website

The Polytrend Product Line of Evonik Industries has released a completely redesigned website about liquid color systems for plastics. Under the brand of POLYTREND® Evonik provides the plastics converting market a quick and comprehensive access to the world of liquid color systems that can be used in nearly all conventional plastics and most technical plastics from low- to high-end markets.

An user-friendly and virtual showroom allows customers to experience this POLYTREND® concept which is divided in two solutions: Polytrend Color Infusion™ and Polytrend Colortrend Infusion Plus™, the so-called offline and online systems for coloring plastics with liquid base colors. “We invite our customers to virtually produce their individual colored plastic tool in our animated showroom”, says Frank Huynen, Marketing Manager of POLYTREND®.

The new website also contains information about technical and color matching services, current events, and product stories that offer additional insights into the world of colorants for plastics. All product documents are available in a download center.
