Company Description:
Union Colours is an international division of Longyu Pigments
and Chemicals Corporation, the largest organic pigment producer in China.
We serve our customers from our regional technical centres and
we are supported globally through a network of technically enabled agents and distributors.
Our development capabilities are substantial, we are replacing
traditional pigments with often technically superior products
manufactured at our facilities in China and South Africa.
Along with the support of Sincol China and our sister company
Sincol USA, our market reach is truly global.
Markets Served:
Due to the scale of our China facility and the flexibility of our South
African facility we are able to produce a wider range of products
than other companies. We are a supplier to all coating systems as
well as the plastic and ink markets. In particular our understanding
of environmentally exacting applications has earned us a status as
the technology leader for some pigment types.
Technologies:
Our Chinese production facilities are environmentally compliant
and focus on producing a wide range of quality consistent pigments, from classic Azos to high performance pigments.
Our South African production facilities focus on managing
trace contaminates for high end applications such as food
packaging and plastics.
Union Colours’ technical team work closely with several
major customers in each technology sector, this allows us
to develop new grades of pigments that perform in increasingly stringent applications.
Our product development team work closely with our regulatory team to deliver the latest application requirements of
our customers whilst ensuring new products meet regulatory
requirements now and in the future.
In all the sectors we work, we have engineered some of the
finest products available today.
Technical Services:
To ensure high quality technical service globally we have established
strategically positioned application laboratories in Europe, China,
India and Africa, these Technical Centres house experienced pigment chemists focused only on our product support to customers.
These Technical Centres are further strengthened by the application laboratories of our regional technical distributors.
Main Product Areas:
Naphthol and Quinacridone Reds, Arylides, Diarylides and
Isoindoline Yellows.
Naphthol and Benzimidazolone Oranges, Quinacridone and Di-oxazin Violets.
Classical and high performance grades for all coating, ink and
plastics applications.
Conclusion:
Union Colours’ strength is based on our experience and our
understanding of the critical quality parameters of our clients’
businesses. We consider the regulatory and environmental issues ahead, in particular our Chinese plant is one of the most
sophisticated and sustainable pigment production facilities in
the world. Further investment in our South African facilities will
ensure we are a primary supplier to increasingly highly sensitive
application areas such as food packaging.
