LANXESS at BAUMA 2019: showcasing BAYFERROX 303T, a pigment that helps reducing the "Urban heat island effect
STRONG PARTNER FOR COLORING CONCRETE LANXESS at the bauma 2019 in Munich, April 8 to 14, 2019, Hall... B1, booth 124 Extensive pigment expertise in modern concrete applications Sustainable building with Bayferrox iron oxide pigments Cologne – Specialty chemicals company LANXESS will be showcasing its extensive pigment portfolio for coloring of construction materials together with distributor Harold Scholz & Co. GmbH at the bauma in Munich from April 8 to 14, 2019. It is the largest international meeting place and most important multiplier for the industry. Here, LANXESS will showcase its product solutions for sustainable building and its expertise in coloring concrete products. The company’s Inorganic Pigments business unit (IPG) is the world’s largest manufacturer of iron oxides and one of the leading producers of inorganic pigments based on chromium oxides. The whole spectrum of pigment expertise For decades, Bayferrox iron oxide pigments have been used reliably in all types of concrete materials. However, in more recent years, there have been many advancements in concrete technology. “New types of concrete such as self-compacting or ultra-high performance concrete are based on complex formulations, the components of which must be perfectly matched to meet requirements. This must also be kept in mind when iron-oxide pigments are used,” says Oliver Fleschentraeger, Market Segment Manager Construction in the Inorganic Pigments (IPG) business unit at LANXESS. LANXESS has extensive expertise in the production and handling of pigments as well as in the processing in concrete manufacturing. To continue to provide superior support for the technological development of its customers in the future, the company has invested around 1 million Euro in the further modernization of its application laboratories for construction materials at its Krefeld-Uerdingen site in Germany and at Starpointe Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, in the USA. “The technical service offering comprises extensive analyses regarding the colorimetric and physical pigment characteristics as well as their influence on concrete properties and rheological characteristics in customer-specific applications, which can be simulated under laboratory conditions,” explains Fleschentraeger. “In addition, we collaborate closely with raw material producers, equipment manufacturers, architects and universities in order to provide the best service for our customers,” continues Fleschentraeger. High quality – and sustainable Bayferrox iron oxide pigments also support the requirements of sustainable building and improve the classification of construction materials manufactured in resource-preserving processes through rating systems such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council). As a result, LANXESS is the only pigment producer in the world to be SCS-certified. The Scientific Certification Systems, Inc. (SCS), a renowned independent certification company, has confirmed the large proportion of recycled raw materials in the production process for LANXESS iron oxide pigments. “This provides the ideal basis for our customers to develop, manufacture and successfully sell sustainable construction materials worldwide,” says Fleschentraeger. Reducing urban heat generation LANXESS pigments are also perfect solutions to the challenges of urban rebirth. More and more large cities are developing into heat islands with negative effects on health, well-being and climate. The “urban heat island effect” is mainly driven by the high number of enclosed and developed metropolitan areas. Reflective surface materials – especially when used on roofs – can help to counter this effect. With Bayferrox 303 T, LANXESS is offering a unique black pigment for coloring concrete roofing tiles. Compared with conventional black pigments, it reflects 20 percent more of the sun’s infrared radiation. This means that the roofing tiles absorb less heat and have a surface temperature that is up to 8 °C lower. This results in a lower temperature inside the building, which improves the indoor climate and reduces energy consumption for air conditioning. This pigment type is also SCS-certified, and has a positive effect on the LEED scoring.

Europe TiO2 prices could stabilise in Q2 on ample supply, seasonal demand pick-up
LONDON (ICIS)--A largely well covered market and seasonal demand expectations could stabilise Europe...an titanium dioxide (TiO2) second-quarter contract prices. The stability would come following recent quarterly prices drops, although pulls in either direction are also being mooted. Discussions are yet to start in earnest, although they are expected to get underway shortly on the sidelines of the main European coatings industry event in Nuremberg, Germany, next week. Demand is expected to pick up seasonally in the second quarter which, together with waning import competition from China amid a firmer price initiative there, could help stabilise European prices. Chemours’ so-called Value Stabilisation Contract strategy could also support a stable price sentiment in the second quarter, although there has been some recent buyer resistance to this in Europe, based on starting point and recent market related reasons. European TiO2 contract prices in Europe fell sharply over three consecutive quarters to the first quarter of 2019, driven by muted activity and lengthy supply. While the market is sufficiently covered in most cases, supply is less plentiful when compared to late 2018 or early 2019. There has been talk over the past few weeks of lower supply flexibility for chloride-based TiO2 from certain suppliers and for certain grades due to demand or agreement type differences, among other factors. As a result, double digit to low triple digit rises are being mooted in certain cases for spot and for the second quarter, although not officially confirmed. However, taking into account talk of producers’ disciplined output rates over recent months and if demand picks up seasonally and the economy is supportive of this, then a stable, if not firmer, tendency is likely to gain momentum during the coming months. Demand into the main downstream paints and coatings sector is relatively solid for the time being, with the seasonal pick-up expected to get underway from March and through the second quarter, weather and economy permitting. Activity from the downstream plastics packaging sector is also faring relatively well, while the paper laminate sector is depressed year on year, possibly amid economic and political uncertainties. By contrast, there may be some instances where slight reductions may be possible in the second quarter due to residual effects of lower-than-expected demand in the first quarter of 2019 and some recent inventory builds. European TiO2 Q1 contract prices were assessed at €2.55-2.80/kg, down by 0.10-0.14/KG from the previous quarter.
Chinese TiO2 manufacturers expecting firmer prices in the anticipation of economic stimulus measures, VAT reduction and stronger Yuan!
(ICIS)--Chinese titanium dioxide sellers hiked offers on the export front this week, with sentiment ...boosted by the announcement of fresh economic stimulus measures. Market players say major producer Lomon Billions announced yet another round of price hikes in the week. Offers for Chinese TiO2 exports were at $2,450-2,500/tonne FOB (free on board) in the week, though market players concede that deals concluded at the higher end of the range were rare. Sellers were confident that the Chinese government’s recent economic stimulus measures could boost economic activity in the coming months. Buying sentiment is anticipated to improve by the expected cut in China’s value added tax (VAT) for the manufacturing sector from the current 16% to 13%. A stronger Chinese yuan (CNY) against the US dollar further fueled suppliers’ desires to hike export prices in order to maintain margins.
