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.
However, if dosing
is inconsistent or inaccurate these benefits can be lost.
Manufacturers operating lean manufacturing
systems can also benefit by driving down inventory
requirements even further
• Avient’s advanced liquid systems can be run at lower
temperatures whilst maintaining stability allowing
important energy cost and carbon footprint savings to
be made
