Abstract

Liquid concentrates for incorporation into polymeric resins are described that are storage stable and resistant to settling or viscosity changes which comprise: PA0 (I) a vehicle comprising: PA1 (A) at least one organic rosin material; PA1 (B) at least one surfactant; and PA0 (II) at least one colorant or additive. The liquid concentrates of the present invention have a body or consistency that allow them to readily flow by gravity and are further characterized by a substantially uniform viscosity. The liquid color concentrates of the present invention also are compatible with a wide variety of plastics and facilitate a reduction in processing deficiencies such as screw-slippage, water carry-over and uneven flow to the pump inlet.
