Inorganic Pigments
For clean water and pure colours
In the field of iron oxide pigments our Inorganic Pigments (IPG) Business Unit runs the largest production facility in the world. And it's still growing – and for well over 80 years.
The product and its many possible applications: iron oxide helps in the protection of the worldwide water supply since Bayoside®* E 33, for example, makes it possible to remove arsenic safely and economically from drinking water.
Iron oxide also brings colour into your world. The intense, light-stable and environmentally friendly colours of Bayferrox®* pigments from LANXESS are used to colour concrete roofing tiles, paving, prefabricated parts or make up an integral part of many lacquers and plastics. The brand Bayferrox®* was registered over 30 years ago and from time to time we ask ourselves what the world would look like today without our colours.
