Colorants and their unique relationship with fillers in cast polymer products

摘要

Pigments and fillers share a unique and important relationship in the coloration of cast polymer products. The color of cast polymer products can be influenced by many factors during the formulation and manufacturing stages. Raw material types, manufacturing methods, and specific pigment chemistries all contribute to the final color and visual appearance of the final product. This paper explains and investigates some of the capabilities and methods available for troubleshooting and preventing potential color issues associated with thermo-set cast polymer products.
