Speciality chemicals group Lanxess is responding to the strong rise in worldwide demand for iron oxide pigments by launching an investment programme. This year it plans to invest about €20 million in expanding capacities at its three production sites for these products – in Germany (Krefeld-Uerdingen), China (Jinshan) and Brazil (Porto Feliz). The company currently has global synthesis capacities of more than 350 000 tonnes/year for the production of Bayferrox products, which are used as colorants for concrete, roof tiles, plastics, coatings and paper, as well as special applications such as toners.
