A pioneer in the field of custom coloring solution dyed polyester, Martin Color-Fi is one of the few manufacturers in the United States with the ability to match any color efficiently in small lots. In fact, Martin Color-Fi leads the industry in servicing customers who require customized colors or blends in addition to fade-resistant materials, special finishes or crimps, small order quantities and short lead times.
The innovative quality system and production process implemented at their state of the art research and development lab makes it possible to match over 10,000 custom colors and meet individual specifications for denier, color, crimp, cut length, cross-sectional shape and finish type. Utilizing a diverse mix of raw materials, including post-industrial, post-consumer and internal recycled plastics, Martin Color-Fi can produce small or large lot sizes in deniers ranging from 3 to 1000 dpf.
The truly unique aspect of production at Martin Color-Fi is their solution dying process, which adds pigment directly to the melted plastic resin during extrusion, making the color virtually a part of the fiber for its lifetime. In addition, Martin Color-Fi employs accelerated weather testing equipment to ensure that formulations have the stability customers demand. And their development staff is ready to help solve problems typically associated with traditionally stock dyed fiber, yarns and fabrics, such as crocking and fading.
Martin Color-Fi manufactures special fibers for today in a way that is responsive to customer needs and responsible to the environment.
