Our services
Technical & application advice
We support you with all questions relating to pigments and their optimal processing. This includes:
- Application technology for cement and lime-based building materials
- Advice on handling and dosing of pigments
- Recommendations for recipe management, mixing technology and colour stability
- Support for colouring paints & varnishes, plastics, printing inks, coatings, paper or simply in colouring any material
Development of new pigment recipes
In our laboratories in Partenstein and Recklinghausen, we develop new or optimized recipes — specifically tailored to your own processes and materials used. These include:
- Individual colour recipes
- Adaptations to different binders, plastics, resins, powders or mineral systems
- Optimizations of colour strength, dispersibility, stability and processability
- Development of pigment concentrates in liquid or solid form, for better dosing, adapted to your manufacturing processes
- Development of optimized pigment preparations for each potencial application, always with a focus on perfect dispersion of pigments, quality consistency, compatibility and stability in your system
In this way, we ensure that our pigments achieve exactly the desired results under real conditions.
Customer-specific product adaptations
Our many years of experience enable us to tailor pigment systems and pigment preparations precisely to your individual requirements. We offer:
- Modifying existing products
- Optimizing colour strength, dispersibility, or rheology
- Adjustments for higher process reliability in a wide range of industries
Customer training – practical knowledge
We are happy to share our know-how with you – in a practical and application-oriented way:
- Pigment technology and concrete technology trainings
- Workshops on recipe development, colour stability and processing
- Seminars for paints & coatings, plastics or other industries
- Events in our laboratories or directly at your site
Special application technology for the concrete industry
Our stone press is available for the concrete industry. This allows us to realistically produce:
- Concrete paving stones
- Hermetic concrete slabs
This enables practical and customer-specific developments and samples:
- Shades and colour adjustments
- Surface structures
- Multicolour surfaces (Colormix process)
With diagonal plates, two or more colours can be applied at the same time – ideal for realistic patterns and exact colour adjustments. In addition, we carry out long-term tests for weatherability and UV resistance.
Competencies for paints & coatings, plastics and specialty formulations
Our expertise covers numerous other areas:
- Formulation development for paints & coatings
- Pigments for powder coatings, thermoplastics and duroplastics
- Colour systems for applications that are strictly monitored by regulations, such as food packaging, agricultural industry or eco-label certified products
- Investigation and adjustment of physical properties such as rheology, particle size distribution
This allows us to tailor pigment systems to a wide range of applications. Our employees from research and development work closely with you.
