After more than three years of efforts, the European plast4future R & D team has successfully applied the pigment free bionic color technology to the plastic material injection molding machine. All kinds of color injection molding components produced by the molding machine not only do not need to use pigments harmful to the environment, but also can save pigment spraying and pigment anti-corrosion process, and reduce production cost, raw materials and energy consumption. At present, the forming machine has been commercialized and applied in the automobile manufacturing industry of EU.

Different material surface texture has different light absorption intensity, which will show different colors. Based on this discovery, the R & D team has developed plastic injection molding machines with different nanostructured textured surfaces to produce plastic components with different colors. The technology has applied for invention patent, and many innovative small and medium-sized enterprises have obtained dozens of commercial contracts, which are accelerating the commercialization and application of the technology. At present, the application fields mainly include automobile manufacturing, plastic casting, semiconductor, anti glare reading glasses, hardware tools, machine manufacturing and other industries.

The head of the R & D team said that the technology has a wide range of applications, reducing the cost of pigment production process, and protecting the ecological environment while creating a rich and colorful life for the modern economy and society. For example, in the past, different colors of recycled products need to be classified, and there will be no classification problem using this technology.
