As a leading international supplier of crosslinkers, polyesters, performance resins, and colorants, Degussa’s Coatings & Colorants Business Unit is geared to the paint & coatings, printing ink and adhesives & sealants industries.

The business line Colorants includes architectural and industrial colorants as well as color systems and sales aids. For example, just twelve colorants and four different white base colors allow more than 1,000 hues to be mixed either on in-plant or point-of-sales basis. In keeping with the principles of sustainable development, research on future-oriented and sustainable coating technologies plays an important role in the Coatings & Colorants business unit. For example, the combination of emission-free powder technologies and low-temperature radiation curing provides an environmentally friendly yet highly efficient solution to the customer.

We are developing universal colorants and color systems that are environmentally friendly and free from volatile organic components (VOC). We are working closely with our partners and customers at several levels of development and are creating marketable and intelligent system solutions by linking and pooling individual strengths within the Degussa Group.
