Partner with a manufacturing team that understands global standards, on‑time delivery, and the need for cleaner, future‑ready pigment solutions.
Sustainability is no longer a buzzword in the color industry; it is a core requirement for manufacturers across coatings, plastics, inks, and textiles. Chemox-style pigment portfolios now focus on high strength, low‑waste formulations that deliver vibrant shades with reduced environmental impact.
Manufacturers are under growing pressure from regulators and customers to phase out heavy‑metal and high‑VOC colorants.
Modern organic and high performance pigments help meet these targets by offering lead‑free, low‑migration alternatives without compromising durability or appearance.
Azo pigments remain a workhorse for bright yellows, oranges, and reds, especially in general industrial coatings and printing inks.
Where extreme weathering, heat, and chemical resistance are required—such as automotive and coil coatings—high performance pigments provide superior fastness and long‑term gloss retention.
Solvent dyes fill the gap where transparent, high‑clarity color is needed in non‑polar systems like plastics, fuels, and lubricants.
Their excellent solubility and clean shades make them ideal for applications such as pen inks, wood stains, and transparent polymer parts.
Today’s color formulators must balance shade, cost, processing behavior, and regulatory compliance in every system.
By selecting the right mix of azo, high performance pigments, and solvent dyes, manufacturers can achieve target specifications while aligning with stricter global standards on safety and sustainability.
Procurement teams increasingly look beyond price to evaluate lifecycle performance, regulatory status, and technical support from their pigment suppliers.
Working with a partner focused on innovation and integrity ensures consistent quality, documentation, and customized color solutions for evolving market needs.
