The world’s number one manufacturer of ultramarine blue pigments, Holliday Pigments, showcased the diversity and uniqueness of its Ultramarine TR and Artizan Deko ranges on its stand 1C 551-552 at Chinacoat 2006 at the Guangzhou International Convention and Exhibition Centre, 7 to 9 November.
Ultramarine TR is the strongest and most transparent ultramarine blue available in the world and is specifically formulated for coatings applications. Maintaining its bright red-shade blue colour, the pigment is easily dispersible in both water-based and solvent-based coatings. The product will appeal to a host of manufacturers, being used to obtain flamboyant finishes for bicycles, motor cycles, electrical appliances and mobile telephones.
Equally compatible in all aqueous systems, Artizan Deko is a new range of liquid ultramarines from Holliday Pigments. The simple ‘stir in’ dispersions provide interior and exterior decorative coatings manufacturers with an innovative alternative whilst upholding Holliday Pigments’ stringent environmental standards.Holliday Pigments sales & marketing director, Steve Bell, commented: “We are delighted to be able to take such a great display of products to Chinacoat this November. Ultramarine blue has always been a popular shade for coatings but with our TR range we can offer manufacturers and designers a unique blue which is perfect for full shades and for carrying special effect pigments.”
China is a key growth area for Holliday Pigments and its range of ultramarines in industries ranging from automotive components to cosmetics. The company has made substantial investments in the region with the recent opening of a representative office in Guangzhou and the launch of a Chinese version of its website at www.holliday-pigments.com.cn.
Holliday Pigments has a proud 120-year history in the manufacture of technical quality ultramarine and operates to ISO9001:2000, ISO 14001 and OHS 18001 standards. The company is the only ultramarine manufacturer in the world to have invested over $30 million in FGD plants, reducing sulphur dioxide emissions inherent in the manufacturing process by more than 99.5%. As further proof of the company’s environmental credentials, Holliday Pigments has recently won the prestigious Sustainable Development Award from the UK’s Chemical Industries Association.
