Printing Inks
Colour strength per euro, transfer that stays clean at speed, and a dispersion that does not come apart in the can.
Pigment strength & dispersion
TiO₂, organic and inorganic pigments with the dispersants and wetting agents to get full strength out of them.
Rheology & tack
Additives and extenders to set tack, flow and misting behaviour at press speed.
Extenders
Calcined kaolin, barium sulfate and carbonate extenders that cut cost without dulling colour.
Matting & anti-set-off
Fine silicates and mineral matting for controlled gloss and clean stacking.
14 grades for printing inks
Minerals and specialities together. Narrow by product group or search by name and property — samples can be requested for these grades, with CoA, SDS and REACH status.
SpecialityAlkyd Resins
Alkyd resin systems for solventborne and modified coating and ink formulations.

Nepheline Syenite (Minex)
Minex functional fillers offer a unique combination of physical and chemical properties, delivering premium performance in architectural, wood and powder coating systems.
View product
Perlite
Made from an amorphous alumino-silicate rock containing water, which expands into steam on heating to produce a foamed structure. Only select deposits have the right characteristics for expansion.

SpecialityPigments
A wide range of organic and inorganic pigments from different validated sources.
View product
SpecialityRheology Modifiers
Rheology modifiers and thickeners to set flow, sag resistance and open time.
View product
SpecialitySynthetic Silicates
Engineered silicates used as functional extenders and matting agents.
View product
SpecialityTiO2 & White Pigments
Titanium dioxide produced by the sulphate and chloride routes from ilmenite and titanium slag feedstocks, in anatase and rutile grades for the coating, ink, rubber, fibre and paper industries.
View productWetting & Dispersing Additives
Wetting and dispersing additives for pigments and fillers in waterborne systems, for colour strength, stability and gloss.

Ink is a dispersion problem before it is a pigment problem. The additive choice usually decides whether the pigment delivers.
- Pigment plus additive together. We quote the dispersant and the pigment as one solution, because separately they are guesswork.
- Samples with data. Full technical data with every sample — not just a bag and a phone number.
- Scale-up support. Once qualified, we lock in the supply route, packaging and stock level before you launch.
- Second source planning. Where it matters, we help you qualify an alternate grade in advance rather than during a shortage.
