Clariant has developed high-performance quinacridone pigments for coatings, plastics and printing sectors based on a source of bio-succinic acid supplied by Myriant.
The Quinacridone pigments are produced at its Frankfurt-Hoechst facility in Germany. Clariant said it is the first pigment producer to offer high performance pigments that are based on a bio-succinic acid feedstock .
In 2014, a significant share of Quinacridone pigment production at the plant will use bio-succinic acid. Clariant said its decision is in keeping with its global sustainability efforts to use more renewable raw materials, and follows intensive R&D by Clariant and Myriant. Clariant’s Quinacridone pigments cover all application areas for the pigments industry such as automotive, architectural and plastics industries as well as colorants used in printing applications tailored to individual needs.
