Riverdale Color is a manufacturer of Liquid Colors for the plastics industry. Liquid color is a cost effective alternative to color concentrates, micro pellets, and pre-colored materials. Riverdale's color can be used in nearly all plastic resins and in almost every type of plastics processing machine. The primary advantages of using liquid color are economics and dispersion. Higher loadings coupled with superior dispersion mean color usages are generally well below that of other coloring alternatives. This makes liquid color less expensive. When coupled with Riverdale's new patented "Pump in a Drum" no-mess metering system, liquid color is now the most efficient form of coloring for plastic resins.

Liquid additives are the most economical and efficient way of introducing additives to thermoplastics. Additives that are compounded into the resin or are metered as a pellet concentrate directly into the process add unwanted costs to a product. In many cases, additives should be added at very low percentages to accomplish the stated function. Only liquids truly allow low and consistent dispensing with excellent dispersability. With that in mind, review our additive product line if you need to reduce part weight, remove sink marks, stabilize or nucleate resin, lubricate the process, or remove static electricity.

Though Riverdale Color's product line is liquid color and liquid additives, we have also developed the industry's most innovative metering systems for handling liquid color. Historically, liquid users have complained about the mess associated with liquid color. Riverdale has now solved this persistent mess problem with its new "Pump in a Drum" metering system. This patented, totally sealed system can be used with gravimetric Blenders as well as traditional volumetric devices. Riverdale also carries a complete line of conventional metering equipment.

Colors and additives are costly if not used correctly. Riverdale's new "Pump in a Drum" system with weigh scale blenders not only meters color gravimetrically but also tracks and organizes all your material usage utilizing new software developed for weigh scale blenders. Riverdale believes the future of material handling will move to a completely controlled inventory system that accounts for every pound of every material going through a plastic processing machine. This software is indispensable to supervisors and managers who must report results in real time. There is no longer room for material over-usage, lost material, or over inflated inventories. In addition to reducing color and additive costs, Riverdale also wants to assist its customers by providing tools to monitor and control inventory.
