HOW LIQUID HELPS
Expertly formulated liquid color systems can deliver significant benefits and greater long-
term value in use than alternative colorant systems for an ever expanding range of product
applications and production processes.

Specifically,
these additives have been proven to be effective
inhibiting E. coli and MRSA across these resins:
• TPE/TPU • PET
• HDPE • ABS
• POM • PP
• PC
Custom formulations can be validated for various
resin types, and under specific processing
conditions, at an independent testing lab to ensure
results in commercialization.

ATO has also been found to be useful as a catalyst for
PET manufacture, as a frictional additive in automotive brake linings, as a clarifier for glass, as an opacifier for
enamels, as a coating for titanium dioxide applications, and as a stabilizer for certain pigments.
