Colorants added in the mixing phase of the manufacturing process can generate transparent, translucent or opaque colors.
Liquid colorants will produce transparent, translucent and tinted color.
Solid colorants are better for generating highly opaque colors—including metallic, pearlescent and glow-in-the- dark colors—or patterns and effects, like marbling, wood or camouflage.
