Pigments for transparent polypropylene
This growing family of pigments from Ciba can be used to achieve brilliantly colored, highly transparent shades that work particularly well in polyolefin applications. In addition to exhibiting excellent overall performance, these pigments also enhance the visual appeal of transparent PVC. Their exceptional transparency allows the glitter and sparkle of effect pigments such as
Ciba® XYMARA™ to shine through.
They are supported by Ciba’s continuous innovation and on-going extension of compliance to local and international food packaging regulations.
