Lanxess presents new pigment range with “improved sustainability profile”

22/05/2014
Leather chemicals manufacturer Lanxess has developed a new water-based pigment range for leather finishing. Offered under the brand name Aquaderm X-Pigments, the products deliver high levels of performance while meeting demands for eco-efficiency and consumer safety, the company has said.

Aquaderm X-Pigments have been designed for premium leather applications for which a high standard of finishing quality is required, such as in the automotive segment.
 
These organic pigments also have what Lanxess has called an “improved sustainability profile”. The product range consists of solvent-free pigment dispersions featuring very fine particles and only a low polymer binder content, Lanxess has explained. Furthermore, all products are casein-free and do not contain any emulsifiers, brightening agents or other additives capable of causing migration.

According to current RSL, REACH and GDSL obligations, the new Aquaderm X-Pigments meet all important criteria which means they are free of volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, chrome VI, formaldehyde and phthalate.
