Specialties

Soaps, household and industrial laundry detergents, industrial and commercial cleaning agents, personal care and protection products are colored for product identity and branding in order to distinguish or recognize the products due to their color. The colorants have to keep their shade under e.g. strongly acidic or alkaline conditions based on the chemical nature of the detergents. Our product portfolio provides a full range of solutions for the coloration of the different detergents.

Paper is produced and used for a very broad range of applications. The design of paper is becoming increasingly important for a lot of other consumer goods in order to achieve the needed differentiation for successful marketing. Our product portfolio comprises aqueous preparations for the coloration of paper which have been tailored to the needs of the industry.

Seeds need to be colored not only for marking and for better differentiation among the available products in the market but also for handling and warning purposes. The coloration of seeds is done by organic pigments (HEUCO^®) or aqueous preparations (AQUIS). Products of our AQUIS line are highly recommended for seed coloration.

The industrial production of viscose fibres based on the raw material cellulose commenced over 100 years ago. The application fields are similar to those of natural cotton due to their similar chemical composition. Main application fields are textiles and nonwoven products like cleaning rags or sponges. Water based pigment preparations are used for the coloration of viscose. The major requirements are the homogenous distribution of the colorants in the viscose in a challenging environment with pH values from 1 to 14 caused by the complex production of the rayon. All of these requirements are covered by our Aquis line.

Latex is used for the production of various industrial products, such as latex gloves or balloons. Specially designed pigment preparations are used for the coloration of such latex products. Our special pigment preparations ensure the lowest influence of the colorants on the characteristics of the latex such as flexibility, stretchability and tensile strength.
