The European Color Innovation Center’s Expression program is designed to spark creativity and provide product designers and manufacturers with new color and effect options. Expression 2010 products are recyclable and are capable of transforming a discarded water bottle into a colorable, laser-markable engineering thermoplastic such as Valox iQ resin, which can then be used in anything from an auto body panel to a set of chopsticks. The eight Expression 2010 offerings are: (1) Menthic green in Geloy ASA resin; (2) Blushing red in Lexan polycarbonate (PC) resin; (3) Maronic taupe in Valox polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin; (4) Pottery gray in Noryl resin; (5) Freshness yellow in Lexan resin; (6) Fandango lavender in Xylex alloy resin; (7) Lagoona blue in Lexan SLX resin; and (8) Tangerine orange in Lexan resin. Effects include diamond, luster and low gloss.
