The Heubach Group, a global provider of comprehensive colour solutions, has expanded its Colanyl 500 pigment preparations range with Colanyl Orange H5GD 500 to better illustrate brilliant orange colour shades. This new addition to the portfolio eases challenges with the stability of Pigment Orange 62 waterborne applications.

“Pigment Orange 62 pigments are difficult to stabilize in waterborne preparations or coatings which is why our R&D has focused on developing this advanced Colanyl Orange H5GD 500. It is stable in all its properties with no tendency towards sedimentation, its rheology profile, and its colour properties, required to deliver outstanding accuracy on all scales. This means complexity in planning, production, handling, and quality on the customer side can be reduced. Additionally, the shelf life of the product is 24 months, it is easy to handle and has broad compatibility in various paint systems,” said Franziska Hammerl, segment head of decorative and wood coatings, Heubach’s Global Technical Marketing Coatings.

The new H5GD 500 is a pure and yellow orange, closing the gap in the colour space in the waterborne preparation portfolio, allowing customers to match bright orange shades with high performance. It can be used to create pure/yellow orange shades and is applicable for architectural and aqueous industrial coatings, flooring, and is also applicable for in-plant and Point-of- Sale tinting. H5GD 500 also has superior light fastness and has the advantage that it is not DCB based. Further, all Colanyl 500 preparations are compatible in all proportions with each other.
