Production and Properties<br />

Our pigments obtain their extraordinary properties<br />

through a combination of special manufacturing<br />

processes.<br />

The pigments are chemically inert and have<br />

ex cellent heat- and weathering resistance, light<br />

fastness and opacity. They are non-warping and<br />

non-bleeding.<br />

The inherent properties of these pigments allow<br />

for a wide range of end uses. Applications include<br />

many different kinds of polymers, high quality<br />

industrial coatings, coil coating, powder and high<br />

heat resistant coatings, weatherproof facade coatings,<br />

silicate coatings and stuccos.
