In addition to its current extensive portfolio of inorganic pigment products, specialty chemicals company LANXESS is promoting its line of new red shades at Booth 412. Marketed globally under the Bayferrox® brand name, the new products represent a further expansion of the LANXESS Inorganic Pigments (IPG) business unit’s product portfolio, and will be manufactured using a new sustainably optimized Penniman process.
The company currently produces these new grades in a pilot plant in Germany, but beginning in 2016, they will be manufactured in the company’s new production plant in Ningbo, China. The new plant, which has been built to the latest environmental standards, is being designed for an initial synthesis capacity of more than 20,000 metric tons.
