IAPD Webinar: Understanding Color Additives

IAPD Webinar: Understanding Color Additives
The most common additives used in manufacturing polymer sheets are colorants. Customers typically have a strong vision of what they want their product to look like, and the first attribute in generating that look is the color. How do you generate color? The answer is not always simple, because colorant packages behave differently depending on the use conditions. For example, products intended to be used primarily indoors or for which outdoor use and exposure is short have different color stability requirements than products that are intended to be used extensively, or exclusively, outdoors.

How does an end user determine color requirements? Is it simply understanding interior vs. exterior use? This webinar will help you understand how to choose between types of colorants and how to make sure the choices are the ones that will meet your customers’ needs.
