Paints and varnishes

Paints, coatings, glazes, primers and coatings of all kinds (interior, exterior, wall or floor) almost always contain pigments as one of the key formulation components and represent one of our company's really important markets.

In particular, our focus is on the steadily growing market for water-based coatings. It is not only growing organically - as a more environmentally friendly alternative it is also replacing more and more the usage of solvent-based systems. With our sophisticated water-based pigment paste systems, we enable easy tinting of white or transparent base colours. An almost infinite number of colour shades can be easily mixed from around 20 basic colour shades and the respective base at the point of sale, but also within the scope of in plant tinting - the tinting directly in the manufacturing plant. The dispersion step can be omitted at this stage, and instead of millions of individual colours, ideally coordinated, lean modular systems consisting of base colour and pigment paste can be offered.

FAQs

What is the difference between micronized and non-micronized iron oxides?

Micronization means the products have been milled. This makes them easier to incorporate into the medium and requires less shear force or energy. Another advantage of micronized Bayferrox is tighter delivery specifications.

Why is Bayferrox 360 recommended when it is more expensive than Bayferrox 318 M?

Bayferrox 360 may cost more, but its high tinting strength allows significantly lower dosage, which can reduce overall pigmenting costs. Note that Bayferrox 360 is more blue-shade. A key advantage is that much darker shades are achievable; even at maximum dosage, Bayferrox 318 does not reach the same depth.

I want a quote for P.R. 101. Why am I asked follow-up questions instead of receiving a quote?

Pigment Red 101 is only the Color Index designation for iron oxide red, i.e. a pigment class. It says nothing about quality grade, shade or tinting strength. Among Bayferrox red grades, shades range from the most yellow to the most blue cast, for applications from construction to paints, coatings and plastics.

Why do I not receive a CoA for a standard sample?

The product standard, i.e. the reference sample, is measured against production batches, which are documented in a CoA. You cannot measure a standard against itself.

What is the advantage of pigments over dyes?

White and color pigments offer higher light and weather fastness, greater opacity and better chemical resistance than dyes. This leads to durable, high-quality products. Careful processing of organic and inorganic pigments in Scholz dispersions makes tinting easy and straightforward for end users.
