German pigment producer Heubach GmbH is expanding its capacity to produce complex inorganic colour pigments (CICPs), marketed under the Heucodur® brand name, at its Langelsheim site. Following the installation and successful establishment in 2013 of its first production line at the site utilizing a newly developed and fully automated calcination technology, the company reports that a second line was scheduled to commence operations at the end of October. The capacity expansion is in response to the fast-growing global need for top-quality, high-performance pigments for use in paints and, above all, plastics, Heubach reports.
