ColorMatrix
LCX dispersions are designed to minimize and
eliminate screw slip, streaking and specking, all
while generating cost-to-color savings through
processing efficiencies that include:
• Handling efficiency – bulk distribution,
individual feed stations
• Inventory reduction – less inventory
and required floor space
• Process efficiency – improved color
change times
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Highly concentrated pigment dispersions
specifically for EBM processing
• Provides dimensional stability by utilizing more
resin instead of fillers
• Reduces costs through handling
and processing efficiencies
• Customization available for design
and product handling
• Can be formulated in combination with
a wide selection of additive technologies
to meet performance needs
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
ColorMatrix LCX Liquid Dispersions for EBM
processing are well suited for the following:
• Monolayer applications
• LDR less than 3%
• Large volume whites and blacks
• Tints
