Abstract:
A method of preparing a lacquer for finishing a polymer surface, comprising the steps of:making an intermediate product comprising at least two separate components, each said component comprising a pelletized dry, stable, homogeneous, blended solid mixture of pigment having a predetermined color and a thermoplastic resin compatible with the polymer surface, each said component being soluble in a solvent to form a lacquer that has a color determined by the amount and chromatic characteristics of the pigment, and said predetermined color for each component being different and selected so that a lacquer of any desired color can be obtained by dissolving said components in said solvent in predetermined proportions that depend on said desired color;transporting said intermediate product to an application site; andat said application site adding said predetermined proportions of said components to said solvent to form said lacquer for application to a polymer surface.
