Liquid color concentrates

The color formulation binder system can also have undesirable effects on strength properties. If the binder in a liquid color concentrate, for example, plasticizes the let-down resin, you can expect the flexural properties and HDT to decrease. Some universal carrier systems have only limited compatibility with many resins and separate out as a separate phase. The unwanted effects include delamination and loss in tensile and impact strength.
