Humans & robots team up for the perfect pigment concentrate

Abstract
Humans & robots team up for the perfect pigment concentrate
Authors: Ellen Reuter, Frank Kleinsteinberg
Optimizing additive packages for pigment concentrates can be a very complex task. A fully automated laboratory-scale high-throughput system can be the perfect tool for the production of pigment concentrates, their application, and characterization. The presentation will show how robots support formulation projects to find the best recommendation for our customers.
