Cost-saving, high-load 'super' concentrates.[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] A newly patented process is said to bundle high loadings of colorants and additives in concentrates at levels not previously achievable. New G2 technology from Carolina Carolina (kärōlē`nä), city (1990 pop. 177,806), Puerto Rico. Located 7 mi (11 km) SE of San Juan, it is a residential suburb of the capital, as well as a commercial and industrial center.

Says company president Matt Barr, "G2 has overcome processing challenges with a proven ability to provide exceptionally effective dispersion dispersion, in chemistry dispersion, in chemistry, mixture in which fine particles of one substance are scattered throughout another substance. A dispersion is classed as a suspension, colloid, or solution. and distribution in both large and small parts." The new G2 product line is claimed to save 15% to 30% in color cost and allow processing at lower temperatures, which can save 5% to 10% in cycle time. Barr also cites faster incorporation, which reduces flow lines and streaking in large parts and also offers potential for lightweighting of parts due to improved physical properties. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3.
