What Makes Coloring Agents so Essential?

Colors and compounds are a very indispensable part of just about every industry. There is hardly an area, where they are not been used.

The use of specialized compounds can be commonly seen in the manufacturing units of plastic, furniture, toys, and many other products.

One of the colorants widely used for dyeing is; plastic solvent-based coloring agents. It is effective in coloring plastic materials such as nylon, PMMA, polyester, PETP, PVC, styrene, acrylics, acetates, and polystyrene.

The many and unique properties (like color fastening properties, ease of dissolving, and good heat stability etc.) make it an optimal choice for industries dealing with plastic productions. It is also used in the food industry.

These coloring substances have good heating and light fastening properties, which makes it a viable choice for many industrial purposes.

The level of toxicity present in the solvents also makes it a safe choice for medical purposes. The high melting point and resistance to heat are the other two properties of this substance, that make it fit for usage in the plastic industry.

These are also used in automobile manufacturing units. The durability and brilliance of plastic colorants make them a perfect choice for automobile manufacturers, for coloring both exteriors and interiors of the vehicle.

Studies have shown that plastic coloring sensitizes electrodes, which improves the performance of photovoltaic cells.
