LANXESS Increases Production Volume of Red Pigments
COLOGNE, Germany — LANXESS continues to optimize its global production network for the manufacture of iron oxide pigments. Through targeted debottlenecking at the Krefeld-Uerdingen site, the specialty chemicals company has increased the product availability of its Bayferrox and Colortherm micronized red pigments by more than 5,000 metric tons per year.
“In the paints and coatings industry and also for plastics applications, we see a continuously rising demand for high-quality pigments which offer good dispersion characteristics. We have therefore increased product availability for our customers,” said Holger Hüppeler, head of the LANXESS Inorganic Pigments business unit.
