OrcoSperse™ Pigment Dispersions
Pigment Dispersions are widely used in the water-based adhesive industry for product identification, product application indication, and for color compatibility with other finishes.
Pigment Dispersions also play a major part in the branding and consumer interest for adhesives tapes and sheet media. In these cases, the Pigment Dispersion is usually applied as a coating or surface layer.
Pigment Dispersions are widely used for branding, wear indications and product characteristics for many abrasive applications, such as sanding discs, pads, belts, and bristle type abrasives.
