Colorants are dispersed in specific resins and extruded into pellets. Resin systems can be colored, modified, alloyed, and filled.

Plastic Color Concentrate Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
Easiest of all forms of colorant to handle. Better dispersions
results in better color economy and additive consistency.
Extremely fine dispersions (for film, fiber, bottles) can be achieved.
“Single package” combinations of colorants, additives, and modifiers are
possible.
Disadvantages: Longer lead times require careful material
planning. Smaller quantities tend to be less economical.
Concentrate is generally “resin specific.”
