Exfolmo combines expertise in materials, colour and processing with hands-on production experience. We help process engineers and quality teams select colourants, colour masterbatches and additives, stabilise colour and resolve plastics-processing problems faster.
The courses are available online and can be started at any time. To find out the price of a selected course, please use the contact form.
You will understand the role of pigments, dyes and colour masterbatches and learn how to achieve repeatable colour. The course combines the fundamentals of colour science with real production practice.
Ask about the price
You will learn practical rules for judging shade, colour difference and the influence of lighting conditions on colour perception and measurement. You will find out how to reduce colour approval errors.
Ask about the price
The course shows how the raw material, the mould and process parameters affect the colour of the part. It makes it easier to diagnose streaks, discolouration and non-uniformity.
Ask about the price
From colour-masterbatch selection to a stable result across the full film width. We place particular emphasis on dosing and process conditions.

The programme covers pigment selection, the influence of the PVC formulation and uniformity control. It shows how to combine colour with the technological requirements of the product.
Ask about the price
The course combines the optical requirements of the packaging with the behaviour of PET in the process. It discusses transparency, shade and typical sources of non-conformity.
Ask about the price
You will learn how variability in recycled material affects colour and clarity, and how to assess the risk before production begins.
Ask about the price
You will learn the functions of additives and their possible interactions with colourants and the process. The course helps you select the right solution for a specific problem.
Ask about the priceStruggling with colour, quality or repeatability in production? That is exactly where we help. We advise on selecting colourants, masterbatches and additives for your specific material and technology, track down the causes of defects and help you set up the process so that losses go down and results stay stable. We work directly with technologists, the laboratory and the production team, so solutions can be put into practice on the shop floor right away.
Selection of colourants and colour masterbatches, optimisation of dosing, assessment of colour differences and colour consistency from batch to batch.
Streaks, shade variation, gels, specks and uneven colour – identifying causes related to materials, dosing and process parameters.
Selection of additives and processing aids, including their effects on colour and polymer properties.
Test plan, acceptance criteria and communication between laboratory, production and supplier.
A programme tailored to the raw material, technology and specific production challenges at the plant.
Exfolmo specialises in technology consulting for manufacturers of plastic products. We support companies in solving production problems and optimising processes, with a particular focus on plastics colouring technology and on the selection and use of stabilising and functional additives. We help link material properties, formulation, dosing and processing parameters to the quality, durability and consistency of the finished product.
