To ensure you have a formulation that will perform to its maximum effect, your liquid colorant should: • maintain consistent particulate dispersion and remain fully stable during storage, dispensing and processing • be engineered to be fully compatible with your particular polymer and production process set-up • be fully supported with dispensing equipment and expert technical services INTELLIGENT FORMULATION In addition, advances in liquid carrier vehicle systems mean that today liquid colorants can be highly engineered to ensure compatibility with an increasing range of polymer types.
