Zinc-Plating Dyes
Use these dyes at the end of your zinc-plating process to add a decorative appearance.
Yellow dye creates a finish similar to cadmium yellow chromate. One bottle makes four gallons of dye.
Black dye comes in two bottles. The size listed is the combined total of the two parts. They make one gallon of dye.
Colorants for Plastic Pellets
Add color when making plastic parts. Also called masterbatches, these colorants contain a base plastic that works with a variety of plastic types—from general purpose polypropylene to tough ABS. This means you don’t need to stock up on colorants for each type. Mix them in with your pellets before melting. To get a rich color for most plastic, you need only 1-2% of colorant in your batch, since they’re concentrated.

3D Printer Resins
Because these resins balance strength and impact resistance, they're good for printing parts for general purpose applications. They'll work for everything from jigs and fixtures to lightweight housings for aerospace applications. Print them on a digital light processing (DLP), stereolithography (SLA), or LCD 3D printer.
Pop Formlabs resin cartridges right into the cartridge compartment on Formlabs printers, and they'll automatically fill the resin tank. That means you won't lose any resin while transferring them to the tank. To use them with other printers, they have a removable cap to pour out the contents of the cartridge.
Resins with a color base and pigments can produce parts in up to 16 solid colors with a matte finish—no dying, painting, or finishing required. Mix the pigments together or add them on their own to the color base cartridge. Each color you create requires the color base, so you’ll have to replace it more than the pigments.
Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your part will start to lose structural integrity.
