Durable color solutions for the most demanding applications.
Industrial coating manufacturers require colorant solutions that can outlast harsh conditions and heavy wear and tear. These demanding applications involve products that are high-performing, reliable and compatible across various applications.
Our durable color solutions are designed for use where superior compatibility, consistency and performance are key. We bring more than 80 years of experience, multiple manufacturing sites and the most diverse portfolio of colorants, pigments and tinting systems to demanding applications.
Achieve high compatibility, consistency and performance with our products.
Our industrial liquid colorants are designed to meet even the most stringent requirements, achieving the optimum balance between color space coverage and traits such as lightfastness and durability. All of our products are rigorously tested in our state-of-the-art laboratory using advanced equipment to ensure batch-to-batch consistency.
To ensure consistent quality, our colorants are tightly controlled for tint strength, color and viscosity, allowing reproducible color matches in the plant or at a tinting center. Our wide range of high-performance colorants include solvent-free resin-based, solvent-based, water-based and solid chip dispersions sold under the Chroma-Chem and Temacolor brands.
Chroma-Chem FLV series
Achieve durable, eco-friendly coatings with our solvent-free Chroma-Chem FLV series of colorants based on a resin that is produced from renewable sources. The FLV series colorants have been formulated for use in all epoxy coatings as well as polyurethane and polyaspartic coatings for multiple substrates.
