COLOR
CONCENTRATES
& PRECOLORED
SOLUTIONS
Colorant Chromatics color and additive or pre-colored
concentrates are offered in various strengths and in different
viscosities of carrier resins to suit the manufacturing process.
This advanced additive also enables customers
to preserve electrical properties while reducing
insulation thickness and raw material consumption
through a consistent closed-cell structure.
