Core Advantages

1. Medium structure balances gloss and hiding power without sharp viscosity surge caused by high structure.

2. Low impurity content prevents particle precipitation for long-term stored color paste & ink.

3. Low precipitation risk during injection molding, free of white spot defects on black plastic surface.

4. Stable blue undertone resists slight UV radiation & yellowing for indoor articles.

5. Wide processing window compatible with high/low speed grinding & extrusion equipment.

Main Application Fields

Core Applications: General Plastic Masterbatch, Mid-Grade Industrial Coating, Regular Flexographic Ink
Compatible Applications: Architectural Tinting Color Paste, Silicone Sealant, Artificial Leather Colorant
Forbidden Scenarios: Food-contact products, Premium Automotive Topcoat, Conductive Functional Materials

Handling Precautions

1. High-speed pre-mix plastic raw material for 5~10 mins before extrusion to guarantee uniform tinting.

2. Store in sealed cool dry area to prevent moisture agglomeration.

3. Regular dosage: 1.4% ~ 4.0%.

4. Increase dispersant proportion for high-solid coating formulas.
