NUBIX V-8 is a ultramarine violet, pigment classified as C.I. Pigment Violet 15. Its composition includes violet sodium polysulfide aluminosilicate of the sodalite type.

TINT-AYD® ST colorants are solvent- based acrylic colorants for tinting high-performance industrial coatings. These colorants have broad compatibility and are an exceptional universal tinting system for multiple coatings chemistries. Tint- Ayd® ST colorants are stable, free- flowing solvent-based concentrates recommended for use in high- performance single or two- component solvent-based industrial coatings. They have excellent compatibility with a wide variety of coatings and have a rheological profile suitable for most tinting applications.

The FLV Series colorants have been formulated for use in all epoxy coatings as well as polyurethane and polyaspartic coatings for multiple substrates. The rheological profile of the FLV Series yields a product line with superior handling properties when compared to many other colorants based on 100% solids epoxy or polyol resins. The FLV Series pigment dispersions consist of organic and inorganic pigments milled in a proprietary system. The stabilization method was chosen to ensure broad compatibility in multiple resin chemistries as well as long-term viscosity and colorant stability. The primary stabilizer contains a high level of bio-based components making this line more sustainable than other colorant lines. Colorants based on epoxy resins will increase in viscosity over time. The FLV Series is viscosity stable for up to 2 years. There will be no solidification or gelling during storage and no crystallization will occur.

CHROMA-CHEM® 896 colorants are designed for use in a wide variety of water-based industrial coatings. The colorants are exceptional for universal tinting through depot (i.e. point-of-sale) or in-plant tinting. The CHROMA-CHEM® 896 colorants are based upon a water-reducible acrylic resin. They can be used in water-reducible and emulsion coatings in both air-dry and baking systems. This line was one of the first universal colorant systems developed for general tinting of water-based industrial coatings. Broad compatibility allows coatings manufacturers to utilize one colorant system for all water-based industrial coatings. Each colorant contains a carefully selected and unique blend of vehicle, water, pigment and additives to yield acceptance in a wide range of aqueous coatings applications. The individual CHROMACHEM® 896 colorants are formulated using pigments that provide a wide range of hues that provide good durability, light fastness, and chemical resistance.
