source for pigmented HDPE samples

[twentyfiveover]

I'm looking for a HDPE resin distributor who can quickly color match Pantone colors and provide coupon samples.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Google
Yellow pages
The local plastics industry trade association in your area where ever that may be.
Look for adverts in trade journals. If these people are successful they are not likely hiding, so it should be real easy.

If b a slim chance yu are in Australia you could try Duromer Products. I do have an association with them so this recommendation is not at arms length. You could also try PSD

If you need quick, look for custom masterbatch or dry colours.

Compounding will take time - minimum order likely to be in the ton(s) range for PE's, although the "Credit Crunch" might have changed the compounder's attitudes.

I have assumed you are in the US as you have not specified a location...

Most processors use color concentrates on commodity type plastics. Any color house can supply sample plaques in less than two weeks. I suggest you use the back of the Modern Plastics anual or the Plastic Technologies yearbook to find one close to you. Most have Pantone books at their locations so you would not have to supply swatches.
