HEUCODUR® IR pigments exhibit the unique property of being able to reflect IR radiation therefore exhibiting significantly reduced heat build-up as compared to conventional black pigments.

Our new range of HEUCODUR® IR Pigments offer a wide range of color shades from yellow through to black and enable the formulation of not only architectural, building and construction coatings, tiles, plasters etc., but also for automotive exterior and interior applications such us dash-boards, tanks etc.

Our latest innovation is the Heucotint line of universal colorants. Heucotint colorants are environmentally friendly colorants that are VOC-free, APE-free and contain no formaldehyde. They can be used in both water-based and solvent-based architectural coatings exhibiting broad-based compatibility. The pigments selected are designed to provide superior lightfastness and weathering while still remaining cost effective.

Heucotint colorants are specifically designed for volumetric dispensing at point-of-sale but can also be used for tinting in-plant. They are very tightly controlled affording our customers excellent consistency both at point-of-sale or in the plant.  

Heucotint colorants are provided with the standard 12 colorants required for the America’s market. However, with our considerable experience in custom dispersions, Heucotech can provide colorants matched to the exact needs of our customer.
