Comparison Note

Liquid colorants like Maven Plastic Colorant offer advantages such as effective use at extremely low rates, good color distribution, and potentially lower coloring costs compared to conventional pellet concentrates. They are known for vibrant and consistent appearance due to finely dispersed pigments or dyes in a liquid carrier. However, they may require specialized pumps and have some pigment/additive limitations, and can have limited shelf life due to product separation. In contrast, masterbatches are easy to handle and offer excellent dispersion with reduced housekeeping, but can be more costly due to higher let-down ratios.
