“NUBIOLA CONSOLIDATES THE EXPANSION OF ITS GLOBAL ULTRAMARINES MANUFACTURING CAPACITY”
Nubiola Inorganic Pigments has successfully finalized the expansion of its global Ultramarines manufacturing capacity.

The Nubiola Group is going to increase Chrome Sulfate production!

STAR (Andine Coatings Technicians Association) and FSCT (The Federation of Societies for Coatings Technology) organized the VIII Congress and Exhibition Andina Paint 2007 held last April in Lima, Perú; there was a participation of 11 different countries and more than 130 technicians in the academia program. Nubiola Colombia was present, sharing a booth with Unitrade (local distributor) and a lecture on the Non Toxic Nubirox range was giving during the Academic Program.

This event is the most important technical conference in Europe on Additives&Colors for Plastics (organized by SPE Europe in Luxembourg). Nubiola gave a presentation on Nubiperf FCP: “Ultramarine Blues specifically designed to be fully organoleptically safe when used in food and cosmetics packaging”.
The presentation was voted as the favourite one by the attendees, ahead of some of the leading suppliers of the Plastics industry e.g. BASF, Clariant, Ciba, Dupont, Degussa. This positive feedback from the audience is further proof of the high interest of the market for this new generation of Ultramarine Blues.

Nubiola was present at the Interlakokraska exhibition in Moscow from 12 to 15 March, giving commercial and technical support to IMCD Russia, our local distributors, who provided a 30 sqm booth which Nubiola shared with other European principals they represent, such as Shin Etsu (Tylose) or Wacker.
A significant number of local coatings in producers and others coming from bordering republics visited the stand showing interest mainly in two product ranges: Nubicoat and Nubirox. Due to the fact that Russia has a huge demand for classic anticorrosive pigments, the focus was on the modified Nubirox types.
