Holland Colours (Apeldoorn / The Netherlands; www.hollandcolours.com) has announced the launch of polymer-based "Holcopearl 2287" for PET packaging materials. According to Wilfried Grob, sales & marketing manager for Europe, Holcopearl 2287 was developed with customer feedback and PET industry trends in mind, such as higher production speeds, deeper colours and more sensitive dosing. It also has a higher melting point and can be used with all dosing equipment. The PET granules are spherical, like "pearls".

Holland Colours manufactures solid and liquid colourants, masterbatches and additives for colouring rigid and flexible PVC for the building and construction industry as well as PET and polymers for the packaging industry. It also offers colour concentrates for coatings, sealants and adhesives.
