“From a technical standpoint, the most
important property exhibited by high per-
formance pigments that distinguishes them
from other pigments is their durability in
the applications, Yazdani continued. “Some
examples of this include light fastness and
resistance to chemical attack and high tem-
peratures.Use of effect pigments allows cus-
tomers to highlight their products in terms
of design and appearance, drawing the end
use customer to their lines and providing
consumer appeal. In addition, the metal-
lic series of pigments provide functional
properties to end use applications such as
improved anti-corrosion, thermal stability
and UV reflectance.”

Patented blending/dispersing blade design makes radical improvement over old saw tooth designs
* Most efficient and aggressive blending/dispersing blade
available.
* Provides proper combination of pumping action and shear/
dispersion essential for fast consistent results.
* Built in pumping action cuts processing time.
* Longer life due to heavier gauge construction.
* Less heat due to shorter required running time.
* Excellent for high or low speed and high or low viscosity.
* Supplied with hubs or mounting holes required to retrofit
and upgrade present equipment.
* Pumping blades without teeth are available and are excellent
for gentle blending and agitation.

“Our goal is specifically reduce the cost
of selected high performance pigments to
make them more economically feasible in
a wide range of ink, plastic and coating
formulas,” explained Wu. “We are very
excited by the opportunities this work is
presenting and look forward to further
discussing this work with our customers
in 2013.”
Heubach has started up a new produc-
tion line for complex inorganic colored
pigments (CICPs) in Germany that com-
bines outstanding productivity and flex-
ibility, according to the company.
“This new production line enables the
production of chrome rutile yellows re-
vealing premium high tinting strength pig-
ments,” said Poemer. “The special feature of
these pigments is that they not only show
extremely high tint strength but they exhib-
it a high level of chromaticity as well. The
current focus of Heubach’s R&D depart-
ment is to now ensure the availability of
these brilliant pigments on large scale. This
unique class of P.Br. 24 pigments is com-
monly used in plastics applications.”
Heubach also participates in several
R&D projects together with leading insti-
tutes and raw material manufacturers in
order to develop novel corrosion protec-
tion technologies. Heubach’s latest research
activities in the field of environmental-
friendly anticorrosives have resulted in the
development of a novel zinc-free product
that exhibits high-performance and broad
applicability. To date this performance has
only been achieved by using zinc containing
anitcorrosives. This product will be intro-
duced in early 2013.
Heubach has introduced MLR301901
(PV19), Monolite Red 301901, the bluish red shade PV19. It exhibits excellent
durability and lightfastness making it
useful for a variety of coatings applications including high end industrial paints
and automotive finishes. MLY115101
(PY151), Monolite Yellow 115101, a
greenish yellow shade pigment offering
excellent lightfastness, weatherfastness
and opacity. It is completely resistant to
major organic solvents and is used in high
performance industrial coatings and automotive finishes. CW
