Back to School!

The list goes on and on – fortunately, the stationery shop owner knows her stuff. Those who don’t want to face empty shelves know to start shopping a few weeks before school begins, buying gel pens and fineliners, fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and highlighters for their kids.

It’s the colorants from the Polymer Additives business unit that ensure their colors are vibrant and long-lasting. “Many of them contain our specialty dyes from the Bayscript®, Special, Nigrosin, and Pyranin lines, as well as pigment dispersions from the Levanyl® portfolio. “They help ensure that the pens deliver vibrant colors and long-lasting performance,” explains Morten Christensen, Global Product Manager, Polymer Additives BU. The colorants are water-based and solvent-free, making them an excellent option for environmentally friendly and sustainable writing instruments.
