Heubach is expanding its capacity to produce complex inorganic color pigments (CICPs), marketed under the brand name HEUCODUR®, at its site in Germany.
Inorganic pigments producer Nubiola, Barcelona, Spain, is partnering with Tekniker, a technology center based in the Basque Country, Spain, on the NANOPIGMY project.
The trade-off in the yellow and orange color space between the weatherability, heat stability and opacity of inorganic pigments versus the chromaticity, brightness and tint strength of organic colorants, in light of the decrease in use of pigments based on deprecated metals, has opened an opportunity for new colored pigment chemistries.
