PAT Products services

Our services

Spectrophotometer color matching, toll blending into drums, totes and pails, formulation support from division specialists, importing on our own account as a C-TPAT validated importer since 2007, and stock in Texas, New Jersey and Illinois. Samples ship the same business day.

01

Color matching

Send a physical standard, a drawdown, a molded part, or a PANTONE, RAL or Federal Standard 595 reference. Our technicians read it on a spectrophotometer, formulate the match in CIELAB, and confirm it in the system it will run in. Each batch ships with a certificate.

The core work is polyurethane: low-viscosity liquid pigment dispersions for cast urethane, rigid and flexible PU foam, and epoxy flooring, with the pigment package and carrier chosen for the system, dosed third-stream or as mass coloration. For TPU and other thermoplastic elastomers run through extrusion or injection molding, the color ships as masterbatch, pigment pre-compounded into a compatible carrier resin and pelletized for let-down at the press.

Heat profile, UV exposure, process and resin compatibility are part of the formulation. Dispersions and masterbatches are RoHS and REACH compliant.

Toll blending

Liquid blending to your formulation, packed into drums, totes, pails and smaller consumer-size containers, for one-time runs and for ongoing production. Blends are made to a fixed specification and ship with a certificate of analysis on each lot, the way our own PATstat 313 antistatic plasticizer and PATstat colorants do.

Formulation advice

Specialists by division answer the technical question: TPU and copolyester elastomers (grade selection, polyester versus polyether, cross-references on request), liquid color dispersions (loading, carrier compatibility, color standards), coatings additives (matting, slip, antistatic, adhesion promoters), water treatment chemistry (azoles for cooling water and metalworking), and plasticizers. Where the answer sits with the producer, we put the question to the principal's own application lab: COIM, Deuteron, REPI, Tramaco and ROWA Lack all have one. Food and beverage ingredient work is handled by PAT Ingredients.

Global sourcing

P.A.T. Products has imported on its own account since 1974 and has been a validated C-TPAT importer since 2007. It passed an FDA Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) audit in 2024, is the importer of record on its own programs, and carries the antidumping and countervailing duty screening, Section 301 classification, EPA and FDA requirements and country-of-origin documentation that a regulated import needs. Producers in Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, Colombia, Mexico and India sell into North America through us, several as their exclusive distributor.

For a material that is hard to source, regulated, or needs specialized documentation, tell us the specification and the volume and we will say where it can be bought and what it will take to land it.

We also supply Lemon #1 flake shellac in standard and high-flow grades for printing inks, adhesive formulation, abrasive bonding, and other industrial applications. Both grades ship from North American stock with a COA per lot.

Logistics

Inventory sits in warehouses in Texas, New Jersey and Illinois, so a pallet ships from the coast closest to the customer and samples go out the same business day. Standard packs run from 10 kg bags and 25 kg pails through 200 kg drums, 1,000 kg totes and 1,102 lb octabins, with repacks by arrangement.

For a container program we coordinate ocean and inland freight directly: container planning, the entry and the duty, the FSVP file where the material is food-contact, and delivery to your dock or ours.

Frequently asked questions

What do I send for a color match?

A physical standard, a drawdown or a molded part, or a PANTONE, RAL or Federal Standard 595 reference, plus the system it runs in (cast urethane, PU foam, epoxy, TPU) and the process. The match is read on a spectrophotometer and confirmed in that system before it ships.

Are you the importer of record?

Yes, on our own programs. P.A.T. Products has been a validated C-TPAT importer since 2007 and passed an FDA FSVP audit in 2024. Foreign producers without a North American entity sell into the United States, Canada and Mexico through us on that basis.

Where is stock held?

In warehouses in Texas, New Jersey and Illinois. Which one ships depends on the product and the destination. Samples of stocked grades ship the same business day.

Do you toll blend to a customer formulation?

Yes. Liquid blends to your specification, packed into drums, totes, pails or smaller containers, for one-time runs and ongoing production, with a certificate of analysis per lot.
