RAL P1 plastic system case
With RAL P1, for the first time, 100 colors from the RAL CLASSIC color collection were transferred into an independent RAL plastics standard using a technically complex process. These are the 100 most frequently requested colors internationally.
The multifunctionality of RAL PLASTICS plastic color sheets offers maximum practical benefit: Three different surface structures and three different material thicknesses give the user a realistic impression of the color effect in a wide variety of material applications.
Polypropylene was deliberately chosen as the material for RAL PLASTICS. Polypropylene is a commodity plastic that is used in many finished products due to its well-balanced properties and excellent price-performance ratio. In addition to its technical properties, its suitability for a wide variety of manufacturing processes and its compatibility with a broad range of colorants further support the choice of this plastic.
Plastic processors benefit from RAL PLASTICS because the previously time-consuming and costly process of reproducing RAL colors from paint samples onto plastics is eliminated by the binding plastic standards.
