Colorants manufacturer Holland Colours NV has extended its well-established Holcobatch microbead range for thermoplastics with a new line for extruded and expanded polystyrene (XPS and EPS) that is said to enable the production of more intense colours than have previously been possible. According to the company, the new series is available in the same palette of colours as its standard colorant range for EPS/XPS but produces stronger shades in the polystyrene beads.
