New & Noteworthy is suitable for a range of formulations where traditional carbon black pigments have been used. When combined with naturally based binder systems and bio-solvents, it can increase the sustainability of formulations to more than 90 percent. PRINTEX Nature allows coating formulators to drive sustainability beyond solvents and resins to the pigment-particle level. Environmentally friendly formulations are growing in importance for marine and protective coatings, decorative coatings, and general industrial coatings. Te coloristic properties of PRINTEX Nature provide medium jetness in full tone applications and good tinting strength.
