This company is said to be the first producer of quinacridone pigments based on bio-based succinic acid. PV Fast Pink E/E01 offers bright colors for everyday products from toys to food packaging and textiles, with durability comparable to petrochemical equivalents. The use of bio-succinic acid reduces the company’s carbon footprint by up to 90% compared to petrochemical-based products. Other innovations being exhibited at K 2016 include: The new Polysynthren Black H infra-red (IR) transparent polymer-soluble dye, which enables easy sorting of black-colored articles during the recycling process; colorant solutions based on the unique pigment PV Fast Yellow H4G, to replace lead chromates; the new Licocene PE 3101 TP nucleating agent for expanded polystyrene (EPS) applications; and more.
