applications possibilities
• Achieve the desired
effect for each part
• Optimize productivity
and system costs by
matching the right colorant
type to the project
ADDING SPECIAL EFFECTS
Further differentiate and add value to your products
• Examples include: metallic, pearlescent, chrome look,
edge glow, sparkle/glitter, neon/fluorescent look,
woodgrain/stone/camouflage
SELECTING + SIZING
COLORANT EQUIPMENT
Both liquid and solid
colorants can be used in
the same production facility
• Use the right colorant
to significantly impact
production and offer
improvements in terms
of efficiency and quality
