INTRODUCTION
Whoever produces varnishes is today facing a big dilemma:
producing from the pigments in powder
or from the concentrate pastes?
The dispersion phase implicates the use of machineries, the mills, with
relative employment of manpower both for the production,
maintenance and stock of numerous raw materials, with the related
costs and problems of logistic, control and management.
PASTES ADVANTAGES
• reduction of the production time, avoiding the grinding phase, and the related costs,
difficult to calculate, i.e. the expenses of cleaning the machineries,
general manpower, etc
• reduction of money investments dedicated to the machines used for the dispersion
• reduction of the warehouse costs, avoiding the production of an entire batch,
purchasing only the necessary quantity for the immediate use
• reduction of the pollution inside and outside the business premises
• increasing of the productive rhythm without related costs
• reduction of the raw materials quality control costs

SPECIAL PRODUCTS
- Transparent Iron Oxides: AB Chimica best known and best seller
products, for their tone pureness, high
transparency and high colour strength.
Available into our solvent-born Series
LO 600 (do-by-yourself applications) and
CO 800 (industrial applications), and into
our water-born Series AW 300 (acrylic paints)
and UWS 1000 (universal applications);
in this Series it is available the new
Brown Transparent Iron Oxide,
by the use of which it is possible to avoid the
introduction of the Black pigment into the
woodstains formulation, obtaining an high
quality brighter finished product and
avoiding the possible sedimentation
problems of the Black.
