Ultra-fast Visualization and Choice: Infinite color options via a cloud-based color library with up-to-the-minute performance, regulatory, and pricing information at the start of the color development process. Each custom colorant formulated in the new system relies on an array of globally standardized base-sets that are compatible with PET and polyolefin end-use applications. Standardized base-sets for other polymers are currently under development.
