Paints/Coatings/Pigments

Ingredients for pigment production

Treibacher supplies rare earths and vanadium chemicals which are used as essential components in the production of pigments for tiles, paints and coatings.

We come across rare earths, zirconium and vanadium chemicals in many everyday products. Their use ranges from manufacturing pigments for tiles and glazes to producing paints and coatings, and special luminescent materials which are used in turn in safety features. Our zirconium chemicals are additionally used in the production of printing inks, in leather tanning and in the paper industry.
