The broad diversity of industrial coating bases can add complexity to tinting and lead to costly reformulating in order to achieve an exact color match. Manufacturers frequently experience problems such as color float, rub-up, or inconsistent tinting; finally, a true “drop-in” solution is available for industrial coatings.
The next generation of pigment dispersions for solvent-borne industrial coatings, Hostatint™ SI, has been engineered to eliminate reformulation across base types while ensuring the highest pigment quality and batch consistency. Join us for this educational webinar to learn about this new global product range and to experience the new benchmark in pigment dispersions.
