Role & responsibilities :
Colour Development & Formulation
Develop recent colour formulations and matches per customer specifications (swatch, Pantone, or digital reference) for all base polymer grades.
Conduct trial batches on twin-screw extruders or internal mixers to achieve target colour for each base resin type.
Colour

Matching &

• Consistency
Use spectrophotometers (CIE Lab*, E matching) to ensure batch-to-batch colour consistency across all polymer families.
Perform visual matching under standard light booth conditions.
Document colour recipes, pigment loading levels, and processing parameters by base resin type.
Production

Support
Set up, monitor, and operate twin-screw extruders / internal mixers for colour compounding trials on multiple base resins.
Manage raw material handling pre-colouring, drying, blending of masterbatch with base polymer grades.




Execute production runs maintaining tight process control (temperature, screw RPM, feed rate, residence time).
Troubleshooting &

• Process Optimisation
Identify and resolve colour mismatches, dispersion issues, and heat-stability problems (e.g., yellowing) across different polymer chemistries.
Troubleshoot extrusion defects such as streaks, poor dispersion, or inconsistent output for every resin family.
Documentation &

• Reporting
Generate daily/weekly quality reports for shift handover.
Maintain Maintain batch records, colour recipe logs, and equipment maintenance logs by resin grade.
Lab &

• Plant Housekeeping
- Maintain a clean, secure, and compliant working setting; adhere to safety protocols and PPE requirements.
