The papers in this anthology (originally presented at Society of Plastics Engineers
ANTEC and RETEC symposia between 1995 and 1998) offer comprehensive coverage
of plastics coloring technology. The presentation is descriptive, non-theoretical,
and non-mathematical; it covers current practices, as well as emerging technologies.
From the Preface: “...Today, color stylists seek to exploit the entire
appearance experience to help create a desired product image. No, you can't
tell a book by its cover, but a product's package can generate appeal and additional
sales...Package design has been an interactive process: stylists demanding more
from the technology, and, at the same time, advances in plastics coloring technology
stirring creative juices...”
Target Audience: Color concentrate compounders, colorists and specifiers, materials
technologists, package designers, students, and others interested in the technology
behind the coloring of plastics.
