The new Heubach Group brings together two of the industry’s leading color innovators - Heubach and Clariant’s Global Colorants Business (Business Unit Pigments) - creating an enhanced pigments player that will diversify Heubach’s and Clariant’s existing positions and that delivers next generation organic, inorganic, and anti-corrosive pigments, pigment dispersions, dyes and specialty materials. The company is participating for the first time at the American Coatings Show in Indianapolis.

Sustainability is the DNA of the company, pioneering the development of sustainable color technologies, including anti-corrosive pigments, as well as bio-based materials and the substitution of questionable materials to improve environmental characteristics and spearhead regulatory compliance.

With the focus on best-in-class, sustainable color technology, the new Heubach is launching several new, exciting products at ACS 2022.

Wood, which has been described as ‘the new concrete’ is becoming more mainstream, used for everything from new building structures and façade cladding to green space fencing and interior decoration. For natural oil-based wood finishes Heubach’s newest product range, Hostatint™ SA, features naturally derived, easy to handle dispersions for tinting wood stains and oils. With low viscosity, advanced sedimentation behavior, high tinting strength and consistent quality the range is designed to meet today’s global regulations and doesn’t require special labeling, making it a perfect replacement for dyes.

Also being showcased are Hostatint SI and Hostatint AU. The diversity of industrial coating bases used today adds complexity to tinting. Hostatint SI is a high-performance range of solvent-borne pigment dispersions, for industrial, OEM, maintenance and wood coatings, engineered to eliminate costly and time-consuming reformulation across base types, while ensuring the highest pigment quality and batch consistency.
