COLIBRIPLAST
Vilkritis attaches great importance to sustainability and promotes responsible, conscious and moderate consumption. In 2012, the company developed ColibriPlast, a unique line of products designed to give all types of plastics their desired properties and colours. The production of ColibriPlast is constantly being improved by applying cutting-edge technology, investing in research, and responding to changing consumer needs.
All orders, regardless of their size and cost, are executed quickly and carefully. The products meet the quality, safety, and hygiene requirements applied by global manufacturers. Vilkritis has its own laboratory, conducts research, produces a small trial batch and gives recommendations, so that every customer can rest assured that they are getting personal attention and are offered the product that is best suited to their requirements and the needs of the project.
The concept of ColibriPlast is expressed by the trademarked hummingbird, which is colourful, agile, small, hard-working, and memorable. In designing and manufacturing these products, the company strives to pay special attention to people, nature, and the entire surrounding environment.
COLOUR MASTERBATCHES
We develop and adapt colour masterbatches for all types of plastics. We select the formulation based on the customer’s raw material, desired colour, production process and the properties required for the end product.
ADDITIVE MASTERBATCHES
Additives help improve the durability of plastic products and provide additional properties. For example, they can reduce static charge build-up and friction, improve mechanical resistance or reduce flammability.
FILLERS
Fillers are calcium carbonate or talc masterbatches used in the manufacture of pipes, films and other plastic products. When properly selected, they can help improve the product’s mechanical properties, reduce deformation and lower production costs.
Taking the production process into account, we select a filler according to the customer’s brief or product requirements. If needed, we develop a custom formulation and carry out tests in our own laboratory.
COMPOUNDS
Natural and coloured compounds are made from basic polymers.
Regarding the customers’ needs, RAL and Pantone colours can be chosen, as well as mineral fillers and other additives needed for the final product.
ROTO
The ColibriPlast range includes the Colibri ROTO product group, designed exclusively for rotational moulding. These are powders of different fractions, with formulations developed to meet specific project requirements for density, colour intensity and durability, UV protection and other functional additives. The use of Colibri ROTO allows for producing thinner and lighter yet highly resistant large-sized items: underground tanks, drinking water tanks as well as commercial, industrial and agricultural tanks with capacities of 20 000–80 000 litres.
The powders can be:
- natural;
- of individual colours;
- with special effects;
- black (soot-free formulations are possible);
- with foaming properties.
