The Heubach Group to launch its new product line Ultrazur™ at PlastIndia 2023. It is a range of ultramarine blue pigments in four shades from greenish to reddish for a variety of standard and demanding applications.
Ultrazur™ has been tested extensively against market benchmarks and displays excellent product properties that make it an optimal choice for a range of different applications that require a medium to high performing ultramarine blue pigment.
Maintains Dimensional Stability in Polyolefins
It is highly resistant to heat (up to 350°C), light (lightfastness of 8 in HDPE) and exhibits strong weatherability. It is non-warping and non-shrinking, thus maintaining the dimensional stability of polyolefins.
The new technology used in the final production step of Ultrazur™ provides excellent dispersibility making it a perfect choice for fibres and thin film applications. Ultrazur™ is a safe product in processing and final use. It is non-toxic, does not migrate and complies with industry norms for use in sensitive applications (registrations are expected for Q2 2023).
Ultrazur™ is manufactured in Heubach´s site in Dahej, India, in a brand-new production facility with state-of-the-art technology and highly automated processes. This ensures highly consistent quality and excellent environmental performance: “
Ultrazur™ is the “greenest” ultramarine blue in the market. Our modern manufacturing site in Dahej boasts of best-in-class wastewater and air emissions treatment technology,” says Ravichandran Palanivelu, head of business development ultramarine blue at Heubach.
“
Further reduction on CO2 emissions in manufacturing will come throughout 2023 based on our investments in solar energy,” highlights Palanivelu. With Ultrazur™, Heubach adds a powerful new pigment to its broad and innovative range of sustainable colorant solutions for plastic applications.
