Ebbtide Polymers offers a complete coloring toolkit for our customers by addressing the economics, logistics, technology and convenience of both color concentrates and compounded engineering grade resins.

Color Concentrates

We are proud to feature Prime Colorants, Inc (PCI) as our flagship supply partner for color concentrates and liquid colorants. PCI is an ISO9000 registered manufacturer of high quality custom color concentrates for the thermoplastics industry. In markets where color control and execution are critical - the appliance, automotive, aerospace, building and construction, furniture, housewares, and packaging industries - we supply colorants that can be relied upon for precision color and outstanding performance.

PCI's custom color is available in both liquid and concentrate for virtually any thermoplastic resin, and in quantities from as little as 50 pounds.

The PCI Advantage

  • 31 years experience in supplying liquid and color concentrates

  • Critical Color

  • Weatherable Products

PCI believes in providing customers the greatest value to meet their needs. Period.

This is just common sense to us, and it translates into certain ongoing responsibilities on our part: keeping abreast of the latest technologies, continually monitoring alternative production processes, constantly assessing carrier resins, UV additives, pigment dispersion agents, and staying on top of current and pending regulatory requirements.

We work with molders, resin providers, and pigment manufacturers to closely manage costs in our never ending effort to discover ways to deliver a superior product as cost-efficiently as possible.

In today's competitive marketplace, your supplier must act as your partner - a relationship we at PCI always focus on.

Custom Compounded Engineering Resins

Although we built our business by precoloring engineering resins from the major resin producers, Ebbtide Polymers now offers our own proprietary families of engineering grade resins. Choose from prime only or reprocessed based compounds.

What sets us apart from our competition? For starters, we have no minimum order quantities and our lead times are some of the shortest in the industry. We provide the exact quantity of the exact material in the exact color you desire, exactly when you need it. With regard to pricing, our customers often find that our custom compounded engineering resins boast an economic edge, even when the requirement involves critical precolor.
