Flows of first and second viscous materials of respective colors are provided and then combined in a predetermined pattern to form a stream of combined viscous material. A dynamic mixer is the then used to apply a predetermined dividing, overturning and combining motion to the stream of combined viscous material to partially mix the first viscous material and the second viscous material, such that upon exiting the dynamic mixer, the first material of the first color and the second material of the second color form a color pattern in the stream of combined viscous material. The dynamic mixer has elements configured for acquiring a specific radial orientation in a range of radial orientations that may be varied during the application of the dividing, overturning and combining motion to the stream of combined viscous material to cause variations in the color pattern in the stream of combined viscous material.
A process for creating color effects using extrudable material, said process comprising:
A plastic article comprising a extruded sheet made of a plurality of viscous materials of different colors, the sheet being formed into at least a portion of the plastic article and having a surface presenting color effects including color gradation effects resulting from combinations of the viscous materials, wherein sections of the extruded sheet taken along a longitudinal axis extending along the extruded sheet are characterized by undulating color bands oriented along a longitudinal extent of the sheet.
A sheet of extruded material made of a plurality of viscous materials of different colors, the sheet having a surface presenting color effects including color gradation effects resulting from combinations of the viscous materials, wherein sections of the extruded sheet taken along a longitudinal axis extending along the extruded sheet are characterized by at least one of:
A kayak comprising an extruded sheet made of a plurality of viscous materials of different colors, the sheet being formed into at least a portion of the kayak and having a surface presenting color effects including color gradation effects resulting from combinations of the viscous materials, wherein sections of the extruded sheet are characterized by color bands diagonally oriented with reference to a longitudinal extent of the extruded sheet.
