United States. Heubach has announced that it is building an anti-corrosion pigment production plant in the U.S., which will have the possibility of expanding production capacity by 4,000 tons.
The facility will help meet the growing global demand for high-quality, particularly zinc-free anticorrosive pigments, and meet the individual needs and requirements of customers in North, South and Central America.
"The production of anticorrosive pigments in Fairless Hills (United States) will begin at the end of 2017. This investment substantially strengthens Heubach's position in the United States and the Group's global pigment production network as part of the planned growth strategy," said Birgit Genn, Executive Vice President of Heubach GmbH, to explain the Heubach Group's new investments.
Heubach offers a product portfolio of a variety of anticorrosive pigments. In addition to the classic zinc phosphate, Heubach also markets orthophosphate and polyphosphates modified with zinc and/or other substances, developed on the basis of calcium-modified silica. A very specific organic corrosion inhibitor with the name that is used in combination with inorganic anticorrosive pigments as a synergist, significantly improves performance in various applications.
