Vinyl is composed primarily of PVC resin, with other additives such as plasticizers, 

stabilizers, processing aids and mineral fillers. By varying these ingredient ratios, a wide 

range of product forms from liquids to dry powders can be achieved, each of which require 

different processing techniques. 

In general, for optimum handling and mixing performance, the colorant form should be 

similar to that of the vinyl compound to which it is being added.
