Colortrade introduces new frontline emerging issues of environmental concern

The growing concern with environmental issues has directly influenced the adequacy of the chemical industry. As a result, an increase in the demand for the use of sustainable materials in various segments is seen in the market, which led to the expansion of consumption of organic pigments, which generally have low or even no toxicity in their composition.

These pigments are applied in numerous segments, from the manufacture of paints to the manufacture of plastic parts. Organic pigments are responsible for the colors of plastic parts and paints, for example. They are the ones who will make your material more attractive to the end customer. You can work with vivid and even more opaque colors depending on the application.

As these are demanding markets and applications, some even with certifications, other characteristics need to be analyzed, such as tinting power, color diversity, light and weather fastness, among others.

Following the demands of its customers and the market, Colortrade expanded its portfolio by launching a new line of products. For this, it sought a partner that could deliver high-performance organic pigments at competitive prices.

Also thinking about the diversification of its sourcing, Colortrade consolidated a great partnership with Voxco, an Indian company founded in 2003, whose production was exclusively destined to Ciba. After a technology transfer agreement, the company expanded its portfolio with new product launches and increased production capacity - Voxco was born! Today, in addition to having ISO 9001:2015, 14001:2015 and OHSAS 18001:2007 certifications, the company also has a consolidated Occupational Health, Safety and Environment Policy, showing that it is aligned with the values ​​of Colortrade and the market.

With this partnership, our customers will be able to count on a wide variety of colors of organic pigments, such as phtalos blue and green, red, yellow, orange and others. The differential of these products starts with the concern in the production process, which are manufactured in a clean, safe and healthy process for its employees and the environment.

In addition to the organic ones, Voxco presents in its line, lead-free pigments, which are highly demanded for industrial application.

At the beginning of the second quarter of 2021, the Brazilian market will already be able to rely on Voxco pigments.

Colortrade will make commercial samples and packaging available, as well as its technical staff to work on developments, countertyping and special projects.
