A simple, cost-effective, natural alternative to opaque polymers • Formulation guidelines at different PVCs

INTRODUCTION By reformulating as demonstrated in the following examples, the opaque polymer can quite simply be totally replaced by 60% Jetfine® 1 and 40% water, resulting in more cost-effective formulations with equivalent performance.
