The
need for better PC color solutions has never been
greater.
This solution
offers better color consistency and better color
dispersion in transparent PC resins, helping to
retain transparent properties and preventing
contamination by keeping production lines clean.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• More accurate dosage on a small-scale leading
to better color consistency
• Better color dispersion in transparent PC
resin compared to pigments, helping to retain
transparent properties
• Prevents contamination by keeping cleanliness
in production lines often found with powders
• Lower inventory, easier supply chain
management
• Better cost effectiveness with lower dosage
• Prevents undesirable yellowness/greenness in
PC chips
• Supports sustainability through improved color
and material changeover time
• Liquid solution reduces dosage compared to
alternatives
