MEXICO: Clariant inaugurated its new production plant for water-based pigment preparations in Mexico. The new plant, located in Santa Clara, doubles Clariant’s Mexico annual production capacity for water-based pigment preparations and enhances its ability to serve customers across North and Latin America.
The capacity increase will enable Clariant to improve its support for the regions’ current and emerging market segments including specialties like home care and personal care among other categories.
Pigment preparations are aqueous dispersions based on pigments. Compared to powder pigments, pigment preparations offer faster and more cost-efficient production, and better dispersion, according to the company. In addition, they provide more flexibility through the possibility of tailor-made solutions.
Clariant began production at the new Santa Clara plant for water-based pigment preparations in Q2 2016. To complement this capacity increase, Clariant is also scheduled to start-up a new plant for solvent-based pigment preparations at the same site in Q4 2016. This will produce high milling demand products for the US specialties market.
