We’ll help you find the right solution.

Liquid colorants use a broad-based carrier, allowing them to be used in most resins. This can often reduce the number of required inventory items in your factory. Liquid colorants may also offer cost advantages for certain small-volume applications and can be dosed very accurately in small amounts.

While masterbatches and solid concentrates are typically the most effective option for coloring opaque plastics, liquid colors can be used for many transparent and translucent products. We will help you find the best solution for your quality standards, process and budget.

We will collaborate with you to design an appropriate dispensing system that works with your current process.
