Main advantages of liquid color systems include:
• Excellent statistical distribution for consistently high quality products
• Shot-to-shot and batch-to-batch consistency
• Single heat history
• Minimal wastage due to high level dosing accuracy and product recovery rates
• Highly concentrated formulations with capability of very low addition rates
• Reduced inventory and storage requirements
CHARACTERISTICS OF
HIGH PERFORMANCE
STABLE LIQUID FORMULATIONS
Under storage
• Remains stable
• Solid-like at low shear
• No sedimentation
During dosing
• Exceeds yield stress
• Liquid-like behavior
• Flows easily
After dispensing
• Self-levelling
• Rebuilds its structure
INSPIRATION AND INSIGHT
When developing a brand new color, consulting with
your color provider early in the decision process
can prove invaluable in gaining insight into which
formulation will be most effective and can open up
new ideas and opportunities for new colors, color
effects, polymer options or finishes that you may not
be familiar with.
By controlling the quality
and technical capabilities of these systems, dosing consistency
and accuracy is fully optimized.
Just
some of these factors include:
• Tool design
• Machine type
• Dryer requirements
• Cooling capacities
• Raw material selection
Understanding how to process all these
combined variables to produce
consistently high quality parts is core
to ColorMatrix’s Full Service Package
approach and in helping our customers
to meet their business goals.

R, ColorMatrix™ Capture™
Oxygen Scavenger, among others will
contribute to increasing product revenues

capital allocation in NDC countries is more
likely and may accelerate a path toward
maximizing ROI and reducing operating

Use of greater external financing options,
such as operating lease arrangements or
energy performance shared savings
contracts, to source lower emission-energy

capture, utilization & storage (CCUS), in our
operations may reduce operating costs and
maximize returns on investment
Use of lower emission-sources of energy in
operations will lower operating costs and
contribute toward reductions of our scope 1
