PITTSBURGH – Bayferrox® yellow, red and black pigments from specialty chemicals company LANXESS have been recertified for pre-consumer recycled iron oxide content from SCS Global Services (SCS). The company formally known as Scientific Certification Systems Inc., based in California, is a global leader in independent, third-party environmental certification, auditing, testing and standards development. LANXESS first achieved certification from SCS for pre-consumer recycled iron oxide content in 2014.
SCS evaluated yellow, red and black Bayferrox iron oxide pigments and verified the popular shades contain high percentages of recycled content. Using Bayferrox pigments with SCS certification for coloring concrete or other materials used in buildings allows project teams to factor in the pigments when calculating overall percentage of recycled content a building has, to support the implementation of a global green certification strategy.
