Inside Our Laboratory
In the masterbatch and plastics sector, sustainable quality is only possible through advanced technology and professional analysis methods. The Colorex Professional Laboratory is equipped with the highest technology devices to meticulously recreate and produce the exact colors and process-improving specific additives demanded by our customers in a laboratory environment. With our expert engineering and technical staff, we simulate production conditions with flawless professionalism.
In 2016, with our KOSGEB-supported project, we realized the largest R&D investment in our history and established the best laboratory in the sector, becoming a pioneer in the industry with this innovative step. Today, our Professional Laboratory operates as a technology base that produces instant and precise solutions for the needs of all critical sectors working with a zero-defect tolerance, especially the automotive industry.
To take our R&D and innovation power even further with scientific foundations, we carry out strategic collaborations with the Bursa Uludag University Chemistry Department and the Yalova University Polymer Engineering Department. Thanks to this strong academic bond and our flawless laboratory infrastructure, we provide our business partners with the guarantee of the exact same quality at every point, from the smallest particle of the formula to massive production lots.
Maximizing precision in our color studies, we divide 1 gram by 1000 and create our formulas with this perfect balance. Every sample entering Colorex is assigned a specific sample code, registered in our system, and kept for a lifetime. In addition, every witness sample taken from production is stored in our special dark rooms for 5 years within the scope of retroactive traceability and unwavering quality assurance.
