Ultramarine Blues used to provide the bluish white shade to the traditional detergent application.

Soaps, detergents.

Pigments of sufficient quality to be used in low technical requirements applications.

Plastics, rubber, paints, powder coatings, inks, paper, cosmetics, artists' colours, construction materials, detergents, soaps, toiletries.

Pigments of high ratio performance/cost that provide excellent properties and safety

Plastics, rubber, paints, powder coatings, inks, paper, cosmetics, artists' colours, construction materials, detergents, soaps, toiletries.

The Ultramarine Pigments' range of the highest quality and performance of the market. The main characteristic is the excellent dispersibility thanks to the absence of oversized particles and the low moisture and sulphur content. Customers that use this range benefit from this to achieve a competitive advantage as regards the processability and productivity of extrusion machines, quality of Masterbatch and performance in end use.

Plastics, paints and inks. Masterbatches of high pigment loading and/or Masterbatches used in applications that require improved appearance as regards brightness, transparency, surface smoothne or improved mechanical properties e.g. thin films, pressure pipes, fibres, bottles.

Non dusty pigments fully dispersed in a polymeric vehicle compatible with most of the polymers. Excellent dispersibility and improved mechanical properties of the Masterbatch are achieved.

THE BLUE TRIANGLE consists of 3 Nubiperf types that are the most superlative products in terms of coloristics in the Ultramarine Blue market: NUBIPERF H56 (the strongest with a reddish undertone), NUBIPERF F36 (the most reddish with high tinting strength) and NUBIPERF FG75 (the most greenish with high tinting strength). However another added value of THE BLUE TRIANGLE concept is that by linear combinations of the 3 products any Ultramarine Blue shade of the market can be reached. THE BLUE TRIANGLE very much expands the possibilities of the Ultramarine Blue space.

Customers that look for wider color possibilities with Ultramarine Blue, with the highest flexibility when formulating, reducing the number of Ultramarine Blues to use and rationalizing the supply chain to reach cost reductions.

Especially focused on any process that has got high dispersibility as a key factor. This is achieved thanks to a very fine particle size and a very narrow granulometric distribution. It is the Ultramarine Blue of the highest tinting strength, with a reddish shade.

Fibres, PET mineral water bottles, very thin films.

Selected Ultramarine Blues for cosmetics

Eye shadows, make-ups, face powders.

Conventional silica encapsulation technology to prevent Ultramarine Blue from being attacked by acids.

PVC, POM/Acetal, roofing granules, powder coatings, industrial paints.

New product developed through a novel silica encapsulation technology that is much more efficient than the conventional one. Because of this NUBIPERF AR provides 40% higher tinting strength than conventional Acid Resistant Ultramarine Blues. Moreover NUBIPERF AR has got a higher acid resistance in use and a higher weather resistance, it is easier to disperse and it better resists abrasion so that it keeps all the characteristics and performance during and after processing it in an extruder or injection moulding machine.

Plastics: PVC, POM/Acetal and any plastics formulation that contains any additive that might release acids or that might be in contact with acids because it is used in packaging of chemical or food products.

Ultramarine Blues coated with silicone that present high wettability and rheological properties.

The new NUBICOAT range has been specifically developed for the application in paints and coatings. This range consists of 2 products: NUBICOAT HTS (High Tinting Strength) and NUBICOAT HWR (High Weather Resistance).
NUBICOAT HTS is manufactured with a new manufacturing technology that provides 40% more tinting strength and increases dispersibility, gloss and transparency vs conventional Ultramarine Blues used in paints. Moreover this technology
NUBICOAT HWR is manufactured with a novel silica encapsulation technology fully developed by Nubiola. This encapsulation makes the pigment resistant to industrial/acid environments that can spoil non-encapsulated Ultramarine Blues in cases that the paint has not been made with high cross-linked resins. Moreover it provides 60% more tinting strength than conventional Acid Resistant Ultramarine Blues. Other benefits provided by the product are a higher dispersibility and gloss.

Paints, mainly water-based decorative/architectural paints, powder coatings and metallic paints.
NUBICOAT HTS is recommended for indoor applications. In outdoor applications, it is recommended providing that high cross-linked binders and highly stabilised to UV radiation systems are used.
NUBICOAT HWR is recommended for outdoor applications and for any other application that requires acid resistance.
