In the plastics industry, it is common for molded components to have visual manufacturing defects leading to increased scrap rates, part rejects, and expensive rework. Plastics processors who are looking to dramatically reduce their scrap rates, especially on color parts with cosmetic surface flaws, will be encouraged by one of the many product launches at the 2018 National Plastics Exposition. Chem-Pak (Martinsburg, WV) has developed a new formulation of its popular Per-Fix® Color Match spray line offered in both convenience aerosol and liquid for spray gun application. This flaw repair coating, which is customized to match the color and gloss of the parts being molded, has had several enhancements to make it even more valuable for molders.
Chem-Pak’s newest product line is the result of a highly successful and continued partnership with Toyota Motor Manufacturing, which began in 2005.
