Fibaplast Inspired by Nature – masterbatches with colors and effects inspired by nature
A modern interpretation of natural beauty – with the new Fibaplast – Inspired by Nature product series, we are bringing the fascinating textures and colors of nature into the world of plastics. Inspired by the variety of fine wood grains, the powerful appearance of stone structures and the warm nuances of natural earth tones, high-quality effects are created that give products an distinctive identity.
Extended variety of materials
Until now, nature-inspired masterbatches have mainly been used in polyolefins. Finke is now expanding its portfolio to include solutions for styrenics, enabling even more applications in different material systems. All variants are not only visually impressive, but also technically: they offer good to very good light fastness and therefore guarantee durable, high-quality surfaces.
The targeted play with flow lines, the use of special pigments and additional finishes such as laser marking allow impressive, nature-like structures and a special feel to be achieved. This turns every surface into an experience – authentic, unique and high-quality.
Diverse applications with strong designs
Head of Development and Application Technology Dr. Martin Fritsch explains: “We are noticing that customers are increasingly asking for natural designs in order to visually highlight their products and differentiate themselves more strongly in the market. The first successful applications are already in the cosmetics and furniture industries, where natural effects are particularly appreciated. Our nature-inspired masterbatches are also being used successfully in the toy sector: the special effects give the products a unique look that visually enhances them and makes them stand out from the crowd – suitable for children, individual and with a high recognition value.”
Sustainability is also a focus here: many Fibaplast – Inspired by Nature masterbatches are already based on recycled materials. On request, we can produce all variants entirely from recycled raw materials – without compromising on quality or aesthetics. In addition, all Masterbatches are food-safe and therefore open up further application possibilities.
There are also no limits to the imagination when it comes to color design: our experienced colorists develop tailor-made shades and effects that are precisely matched to the customer’s ideas.
