Industrial Inorganic Pigments Portfolio
Engineered synthetic Ultramarine Blue, Ultramarine Violet, and NANOX high-performance pigment grades designed for plastics masterbatch, industrial coatings, printing inks, and cosmetics.
Ultramarine Blue
Brilliant, lightfast reddish-blue synthetic pigment with thermal stability up to 350°C in specialized grades. Completely non-nucleating and dimensionally stable for polyolefins.
Ultramarine Violet
Unique reddish-violet hue with outstanding thermal endurance up to 300°C+, Blue Wool 7–8 lightfastness, and zero solvent bleed in coatings, inks, and masterbatches.
NANOX Pigments
Formulated with controlled free-sulfur, sub-0.1% moisture, and low Filter Pressure Value (FPV < 0.5 bar/g) for thin films, microfibers, and automotive components.
