Color Measurement Solutions for Masterbatchers
With pressure to reduce waste and speed up time to market coming from all angles, masterbatchers must continuously evaluate processes and solutions to ensure they create the fastest and most accurate product for their customers. Complex customer specifications beyond color such as flame retardancy or UV absorbers that can make even the simplest colors challenging to formulate.
X-Rite Pantone solutions help ensure your color formulation process is at peak performance by minimizing batch color variances and ensuring repeatability. Built to help you get the most out of your historical color data to minimize overall formulation time and achieve on-time and on-spec delivery to customers and/or production line.
Customizable solutions from X-Rite Pantone provide masterbatch professionals the ability to:
- Provide optimum initial color matches and reduce number of correction step needed by increasing the percentage of acceptable 1st matches by up to 50%.
- Reduce number of cycles to acceptable matches by understanding color achievability before formulation begins.
- Reduce environmental impact and wasted material by incorporating leftover materials into recipes to work-off over time.
Trust X-Rite Pantone to achieve faster and better color so you can win and maintain more business from a diverse clientele.
