Rainer Heubach
The demands in the global marketplace are increasing, the pressure to be
innovative is becoming more intense: colors, coatings and materials need to be
ever more resistant, functional and easier to process. As one of the world‘s leading
manufacturers of pigments, we provide our customers with high-performance
coloring and protection solutions for industry-specific requirements. The extraordinary
breadth of our portfolio encompasses organic and inorganic high performance
pigments, and pigment preparations for paints, varnishes, plastics, coatings, printing
inks, latex, adhesives and construction materials. Thanks to the outstanding properties
of our corrosion protection pigments, we rank among the world leaders in this
market segment.
Heubach has been developing and manufacturing pigments for more than
200 years – driven by our quest for outstanding quality, technical innovations and
market-oriented growth. Our passion for perfection has made us what we are today:
a globally operating, owner-managed group of companies with 1,100 employees
around the globe. Our three production facilities and service centers on all
continents provide our customers with support exactly where the pigments are used.
Our goal is to strengthen and further expand this excellent position in the market.
We put color into your ideas. Organic, inorganic and anti-corrosive pigments, and pigment preparations –

Products and innovat ions
Can pigments think?We equip our pigments with intelligent properties.
And achieve outstanding performance parameters in a wide range of applications.
Highly conditioned pigments are in action when black deflects heat: HEUCODUR®
IR pigments reflect infra-red rays and reduce the temperature in cars, buildings or
on industrial paints over a wide spectrum of colors. This opens up new creative
scope for developers, designers and engineers. Perfect in appearance, durability and
resistance, weatherproof and lightfast – the list of important properties of products
is long. With its outstandingly diverse range of »intelligent« organic and inorganic
high performance pigments and pigment preparations, Heubach offers pioneering
solutions for numerous sectors of industry – from paint, plastic and printing ink
production right up to the manufacture of latex and seeds.
In research projects in collaboration with universities, institutes and our customers,
we develop pigment innovations that not only improve the performance capabilities
of color and material; they also do not harm either health or the environment.
For example, Heubach was the first company in the world to start replacing
corrosion protection pigments that contained chromate. Our product lines use
orthophosphates, polyphosphates, organic inhibitors and wide spectrum anti-
corrosives and meet the most stringent requirements in terms of corrosion
protection. We have even developed an alternative for intense shades of industrial
and powder paint, which is free of chromate and cadmium: TICO® uses titanium
yellow pigments for outstanding purity and color intensity while ensuring cost
efficiency.
The performance capabilities of pigments are far from exhausting their possibilities:
We are rigorously pushing ahead with the diversification of our pigment portfolio
and the forward integration in preparations to enable us to offer our customers the
best possible solutions for their specific requirements at all times.
