SABIC Innovative Plastics Launches Expression 2009
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands — April 10, 2008 — Plastics have always been notable for their diverse performance capabilities. Now, SABIC Innovative Plastics is opening a world of new design possibilities for its plastics through the latest trends in colors, effects, and textures. The Expression 2009 palette aims to help customers tap into the power of aesthetics to evoke emotions, achieve differentiation, and create instant brand recognition.SABIC Innovative Plastics’ three worldwide Color Innovation Centers and online ColorXpress service make it easy for customers to find or match the precise color and effect for their applications. The company’s investment in the Expression program and application development centers helps provide customers with innovative product solutions to help them deliver business success.
Textures are a new dimension within the Expression 2009 collection. Six intriguing textures, such as the optical art energy of “who stole my glasses” and the organic appeal of “squashed bamboo,” add depth and interest without the need for paint. Combined with a color or special effect from SABIC Innovative Plastics’ huge array of Visualfx* resins, these textures can provide a unique look and feel while reducing system costs.
According to Yvette Bogaert, manager of the European Color Innovation Center, “Our Expression program, which began last year, offers colors and effects that reflect upcoming trends, based on our discussions and interactions with design and color industry experts. Expression colors and textures are meant as an inspiration to customers to think creatively about their applications. Our investment in new aesthetic approaches – and the technical services to back them up – enables us to provide our customers with innovative product solutions.”
Expression 2009 features four trends collections which include Textures, Greens, Whites, and Something Else. These are available in a range of colors & Visualfx special effects resins.
