For wire jacketing, a color masterbatch must be formulated to ensure it can be rapidly mixed and evenly dispersed in a very short time, while also providing sufficient pigment coverage.

MagnaPrint Hybrid Fusion Vibrant White is an exciting, PVC-free addition to the MagnaColours portfolio, offering a curing time that is half as long as the leading competitor’s water-based ink,” said Jake Ojeda, Global Marketing Director and Americas Sales Director, Color, Additives, and Inks at Avient.
