Color change time

Over 525 machine cycles:

• 2.5 color changes achieved with the solid colorant system
• 4 complete color changes and back to clear achieved with the ColorMatrix liquid system

Performance is significantly improved due to the natural surfactancy, more effective flushing and beneficial melt rheology of ColorMatrix advanced liquid engineered color

This performance is typical for any application, not just closures. In like for like color change time comparisons, ColorMatrix advanced liquid colorant routinely outperforms the solid color alternative.
