In 2008, Carolina Color patented G2, an innovative product in which pigments and additives are highly loaded, exceptionally well dispersed and can effectively distribute in both large and small parts. Building upon the strength of G2 in the marketplace, Carolina Color has developed its next-generation G3 product line.

Carolina Color is a family-owned company since 1967 that serves colorant needs from ISO 9001:2008 certified locations in North Carolina and Ohio. Carolina Color’s G3 product line will be effective in diverse applications such as packaging, housewares, lawn and garden, and transportation. Convertors will be impressed by this innovative technology, whether performing injection, blow molding or extrusion. Carolina Color expects G3 to be a home run for the industry.

Key attributes and advantages of using G3 include:

  • Can be used in all olefins and engineering resins
  • Provides highest pigment-loaded custom colors in the industry
  • Lowers environmental impacts with a reduction in production energy, packaging materials and C02 emissions
  • Supports Six Sigma/Lean production methods

Jeff Smink, President of Carolina Color states: “We are thrilled to introduce this next generation product line and anticipate broad based adoption by the industry. Innovation is a core competency of Carolina Color and G3 is yet another example of our ability to create truly disruptive technologies that provides our customers with real competitive advantages. What I find particularly exciting is that G3 offers pigment loadings that eclipse any other colorant technology out there, including liquid. To be able to deliver colorant that efficiently and in a solid pellet form is a game changer.”
