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.
