Colorability is another reason IDs select plastics for many products. Molding color into a product eliminates finishing and painting operations, thus reducing costs. Beyond cost, integral color also masks the nicks, chips and scratches that impair appearance during the life of the product. Color effects are almost limitless. Transparent, translucent, pearlescent, fluorescent, or marbleized colors are readily available for use in plastics. 

The ranges of properties in plastics encompasses all types of environmental and load conditions, each with its own individual, yet broad, range of properties (Fig. 1-9). These properties can take into consideration wear resistance, integral color, impact resistance, transparency, energy absorption, ductility, thermal and sound insulation, weight, and so forth. There is unfortunately no one plastic that can meet all maximum properties. Therefore, the designer has different options, such as developing a compromise because many product requirements provide options, particularly if cost is of prime importance. 

If, instead, the duration of the massive stars phase is as long as 0.1 Gyr (models c3, c4, c6 and c8) then we obtain a too high metallicity for the next stellar generations, with the consequence of obtaining too high metallicity indices and too red integrated colors. Therefore these models should be ruled out. 

Pop III stars in classic monolithic models for ellipticals (closed-box) produce larger, although still acceptable, [< Mg/Fe > ] ratios. However, the predicted integrated colors are too red. As a consequence these models should be rejected. 

Other fine materials which tend to inhibit air entrainment include pigments, particularly carbon black. This is of concern to the ready-mixed operator supplying integrally colored concrete for exterior exposure [6]. Accelerating admixtures which are used to reduce down time and in cold weather concreting can be used successfully in air-entrained concrete, but should be added separately and in solution form to the mix. Direct contact of these admixtures with some types of air-entraining agents mixed in the same water phase may adversely affect both admixtures. 

Figure 4, the Cuban raw appears to be the easier of the two sugars to decolorize because its integral color is much smaller, but this quantitative phenomenon should not be allowed to obscure the fact that the kind of color it contains is harder for the adsorbents to remove than the kind of color contained by the number 13 soft sugar. 

Based on integral color estimated from absorbency curve from 400 to 700 mu determined with a Cary recording spectrophotometer. All liquors were buffered to pH 7 prior to measurement. 

Studies of integrated colors of spiral disks reflect the observed abundance gradients and are well reproduced by an inside-out formation of disks similar to what assumed for the Milky Way (Josey Arimoto 1992 Jimenez et al. 1998 Prantzos Boissier 2000). 

Very frequently, the polymer material from the materials manufacturer does not go directly to the processor. There is often an intermediate step that involves the addition of other materials (chemicals, additives, modifiers) that serve to impart special properties or enhance the qualities of the polymers or resin. For example, polymers can be integrally colored (with polymers or dyes), made more flexible (with plasticizers), more heat and light resistant (with stabilizers), or stronger and more impact resistant (with fiber reinforcements). These modifiers may be supplied by the companies that manufacture the plastics themselves or by companies that specialize in the production of one or more modifiers. 

This paper studies multi-angle spectrophotometry as applied to integrally colored filled polyolefins for automotive applications. The paper begins by examining instrument capabilities and limitations using textured automotive parts. It also explores use of multi-angle spectrophotometiy to improve the quahty of automotive color matching in filled polypropylene systems. 

Finishing costs for good cosmetic appearance 40 to 60 cents per sq. ft. of surface (depending on surface-swirl conditions) None, if integrally colored 10-20 cents per sq. ft. if painted None, if secondary operations such as trimming are not required. Otherwise 20 to 30 cents per sq. ft. of surface...

The so-called integral coloring (Figure 37.8) is a one-step process that produces oxide layer and coloring simultaneously. Bronze and black shades are obtained.

Figure 7-53. This Navistar International truck fascia is of multiple-extrusion blow-molded parts made from Himont s HiFax polypropylene. The fascia parts, which range from 8 to 17 lbs. and come in lengths from 24 in. to 6 ft., are molded on 50-lb. accumulator head capacity machines. The ability to mold the PP in an integral color eliminates the need to paint. 

Color Color is a basic specification for plastic parts one of its major properties is its ability to be integrally colored, almost without restriction in viewing a colored object three factors observed (1) The quality of light illuminating the object (2) The ability of the object to absorb certain portions of the light and to reflect others and (3) The sensitivity of the eye to the reflected... 

Concrete may be colored by integral addition or by the application of color in the hardened state. Integral colored compoimds include natural and synthetic products, for example, chromium oxides, cobalt oxide, and organic pigments based on Cu complexes of phthalocyanine.
