Functional pigments - Vibrantz Technologies

Our pigments have unique performance properties.

The importance of functional pigments lies not in their color but in various physical and performance properties. Recent developments in functional pigments are redefining the role they play in end-use products well beyond that of appearance and include process efficiency, waste reduction, sustainability and regulatory compliance. Vibrantz is a leading global manufacturer and formulator of high-performance functional pigments that enhance our customers’ products with properties tailored for highly specialized applications.

Our functional pigments excel in applications like:

Near-infrared (NIR) reflectance
Corrosion inhibition
Optical camouflage
Leather tanning
Powder charging characteristics

We keep your dark surfaces cool.

Our Cool Colors^® pigments for coating, plastic and construction applications deliver solar heat reflectance and near infrared (NIR) reflectance to provide sustainability advantages like increased service life and energy efficiency. With Cool Colors, even dark surfaces can stay cool under the sun. Ideal for applications like coil coatings for roofs, exterior paints for roofs and facades, roof shingles, and sports fields, our full range of Cool Colors offer performance benefits like:

Reduced air conditioning and energy consumption
Increased building comfort
Extended service life

Anticorrosives

Nubirox anticorrosive pigments designed for use in protective coatings that provide long-term corrosion inhibition of metal surfaces.

Zinc phosphate

We provide two grades of zinc phosphate anticorrosive pigments with different particle shapes: standard grade Nubirox N2 and special particle zinc phosphate Nubirox SP, which has a higher specific surface area and effectiveness.

Organophilized zinc phosphate and zinc molybdate

The Nubirox 100 series of organophilized zinc phosphate and zinc molybdate anticorrosive pigments features a combination of zinc-based active compounds formulated to improve pigment efficiency.

Iron phosphate and zinc phosphate

The Nubirox 200 series of anticorrosive pigments offers high specific surface area and are based on a combination of iron and zinc compounds formulated to improve pigment efficiency on steel substrates.

Calcium strontium phosphosilicate

The Nubirox 300 series of anticorrosive pigments uses a combination of non-zinc-based active compounds to improve pigment efficiency. These calcium strontium phosphosilicate corrosion inhibitors are an alternative to zinc-based pigments and deliver excellent performance in many solvent-based and water-based paint systems.

Liquid flash rust inhibitor

The Nubirox FR series of liquid rust inhibitors is formulated to prevent flash rust and in-can rust in water-based paint systems without detracting from the long-term performance properties of paints and coatings.

Zinc chromate

Yellow anticorrosive pigment for use in protective coatings.

Zinc tetraoxychromate

Yellow anticorrosive pigment for use in protective coatings.
