FlexCart M.I. is the system specifically designed to deliver liquid colorants directly into molten processes at pressures up to 200 bar. The FlexCart M.I. is designed to meet the needs of extrusion and similar continuous processes requiring additive and colorant delivery directly into a molten polymer stream. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

The FlexCart Mini system is designed as the metering system for liquid colorants and additives within a reduced space. The basis of a PlanetPak container is a robust polyethylene liner with a proprietary collapsing design, surrounded by a cardboard outer shell. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
