Orion Performance Compounds recently completed its 500th color match, marking a meaningful milestone in the company’s ongoing work to support customers with tailored polymer solutions that meet both performance and aesthetic requirements.
Color development has become a core strength of Orion’s custom compounding capabilities, supporting a wide range of industries including healthcare, electrical, industrial, and consumer markets. The ability to match and reproduce color consistently across complex formulations is especially important for customers whose applications demand both technical performance and strict brand or regulatory requirements.
Orion’s color expertise spans both filled and unfilled compounds and covers a broad portfolio of base polymers, from commodity type materials to high-performance engineering resins. The company currently has active color compound sales in:
“Color is often one of the most visible elements of a material decision, but it can also be one of the most technically complex — especially when dealing with regulatory constraints, challenging base polymers, or filled compounds,” said a spokesperson from Orion. “We’re proud to have built an infrastructure that supports both precision and flexibility across such a wide variety of resins and end-use requirements.”
Orion continues to invest in color technology, formulation development, and customer collaboration to expand its offerings and support market needs. The 500th match is a meaningful benchmark — and a reflection of the steady demand for color-capable, high-performance compounds.
