By leveraging its extensive technical expertise and color manufacturing experience, Sensient was able to develop novel pigment dispersions that provide the foundation for the full SensiCoat product line. “The technical advancements delivered by SensiCoat provide the agricultural industry with numerous important benefits and was the culmination of a long R&D effort paired with significant capital investment. SensiCoat is an example of our continuing commitment to the industry,” stated Mike Geraghty, President of Sensient Colors.
Current offerings include water-based pigment dispersions including SensiCoat Red, SensiCoat Blue, and SensiCoat Green in addition to an array of customized shade options. The system is also available in a range of product forms including liquid, granular, and polymer coatings depending on individual seed producer needs.
