Chemical additives and agents include a wide range of materials added to polymer resins, paints and coatings, or adhesives to modify specific processing or end-use properties.
Colorants, pigments and dyes are dispersed in paints and caulk to provide characteristics such as color, hiding power, bulk, durability and corrosion resistance.
Industrial dyes are colorants consisting of single molecules that are able to absorb certain parts of the spectrum of visible light and reflect others. Dyes are soluble in the material in which they are dispersed.
