In response to increasing market demand for products that enable and enhance colour identity, a range of colours for extruded Acetal stockshapes is available.

Quadrant Engineering Plastics (EPP) has introduced a range of standard colours for extruded Acetal stockshapes. The company launched the selection in response to increasing market demand for products that enable and enhance colour identity. The products deliver all the familiar performance qualities of Quadrant EPP's range of Acetal materials, including an excellent ratio of weight/strength performance, a low coefficient of friction and good abrasion resistance.

The Ertacetal product line is also known for its excellent machinability.

But Quadrant's new line delivers several additional benefits related specifically to colour.

For example: * Companies wish to distinguish themselves and their products from the competition, and colour offers a simple visual approach to brand recognition.

* Standard colours can quickly determine whether a faulty part originated at a company's factories or those of a competitor.

* Ordering materials and parts in standard colours simplifies many customer designs and processes by removing guesswork about colour consistency and accuracy during later product development stages.

* Pre-coloured materials and parts simplify design of colour-coded systems that require multiple parts to be accurately changed out or replaced.

* Colour-coding parts not only helps customers avoid accidental mistakes in assembly processes, it can also improve safety, facilitate product inspections, and save time.

Quadrant now offers customers with a broad selection of Acetal stock shapes in a range of seven standard colours beyond the black and white.

The new colours include red, blue, yellow, green, orange, brown and grey.

Customers can select from these standard colours instead of formulating their own custom colours.
