more:know-how

130 years of traditionInnovation has a long tradition at Sachtleben, reaching back to the year 1878, when

the chemist Dr. Rudolf Sachtleben started development of Lithopone on the basis of

barium sulfate and zinc sulfide. The world‘s first durable ingredient for white paints and

coatings replaced toxic white lead and was considered the apogee of development work

in this field - a valuable and worthwhile achievement. Sachtleben‘s research activities

still enjoy international acclaim today.

concentrated know-howAs a dependable system partner for industry, Sachtleben develops tailor-made solutions

for products and applications jointly with its customers. The new cooperation between

the German and Finnish development departments boosts these capabilities yet again.

Sachtleben now intends to deploy the new concentrated know-how to further acceler-

ate progress in the field of inorganic pigments and to exploit it to achieve innovative

new products and applications. Sachtleben is thus opening up access to new and highly

attractive market segments for its customers.

more:sustainability

responsible care and sustainable developmentSustainable economic management has become a synonym for the development of the

viable enterprise of the future, most especially in the chemicals industry, which is com-

mitted to the principles of Responsible Care and Sustainable Development. Sachtleben,

as a multinational, globally active company, implements this commitment everywhere, in

every detail.

three pillars in balanceSachtleben is careful to achieve a balance between the three pillars of sustainability.

Development and production of innovative products and intelligent solutions assure

economic growth. Ecological equilibrium achieved by the careful use of resources pro-

tects the environment; a good example of this is the waste-acid recycling plant, which

in 1989 made Sachtleben the first titanium dioxide producers to achieve 100% recycling.

Social progress means, for Sachtleben, assuring its employees‘ futures via continuous

further training, the provision of safe and attractive workplaces, and the implementation

of active industrial health and safety provisions.

a shared corporate cultureSachtleben exploits synergies and promotes knowledge-transfer in all sectors of its op-

erations, from Research & Development, via Production and Quality Control, up to and

including Logistics and Marketing. Day-to-day cooperation between 1,700 employees

in Germany and Finland is thus giving rise to a shared culture that does not attempt to

suppress differing viewpoints, but regards them, instead, as an enrichment of corporate

life.

new strengthBecause the challenges of global competition are growing, Sachtleben has also grown:

its product portfolio has been broadened, its production capacities expanded, corporate

know-how concentrated, and Sachtleben‘s presence on global markets intensified. The

international Sachtleben network includes personal contacts in more than sixty countries

around the globe. Sachtleben now possesses new strength, thus also strengthening

its customers, to whom Sachtleben will, in future, be able to offer even more – more:

performance rutile and blanc fixe crystals for paints and coatingsModern coating systems combine high-level decorative and protection functions.

Sachtleben‘s Blanc Fixe (synthetic BaSO4) range of products optimizes the properties

of high-quality paints and coatings. These particles improve gloss values, enhance

impact resistance, are mechanically and chemically stable, and improve rheology. In

the white-goods segment, Blanc Fixe crystals assist in replacing up to 30 percent of

the titanium dioxide needed in powder-coating systems with ultra-low film thickness-

es, achieving top-quality hiding gloss with a simultaneous cut in production costs.

Sachtleben supplies the paints and coatings industry with rutile pigments possessing

excellent whiteness, high scattering power, good gloss values and outstanding resist-

ance to outdoor exposure, for practically all coating systems. Incorporation of these

products into such systems is straightforward, thanks to their good dispersibility.

high-effect nano-titanium dioxide pigmentsSachtleben‘s nano-titanium dioxide pigments permit the achievement of fascinating

optical effects, such as those of the so-called flip-flop finishes used on cars.

These tiny particles are also highly effective in transparent wood protection products

and as a dependable UV barrier in plastics and lacquers. Synthetic barium sulfate

nanoparticles in high-end coatings are also a convincing example of both quality and

cost-efficiency.

matting with hombitan anatase microcrystalsAs an experienced system partner, Sachtleben develops functional products for the

man-made fibers industry, and occupies a pole position globally in high-quality

Hombitan anatase microcrystals for delustration of synthetic fibers. These top-quality

microcrystals are notable for their excellent whiteness, high opacity, minimal abra-

sion, extremely good dispersibility and uniform distribution in the body of the fiber.

They improve the fibers‘ UV stability and prevent discoloration of the polymer.

uv protection with nano-additivesSachtleben also supplies special additives for the production of gloss fibers and for

enhanced UV protection as well as nano-additives that achieve permanent UV block-

ing and are thus particularly kind to the skin and, in addition, chemically stable.

antiblocking particles for transparent filmsSachtleben has set new technological standards with its innovative antiblocking

concept for the films segment. These specially designed particles provide transparent

films with high gloss and assure maximum process dependability.

paper

pigments for refined surfacesPaper is a centuries old cultural asset that remains indispensable even in the multi-

media age. Sachtleben supplies suitable TiO2 and BaSO

4 products for use in both the

pulp and/or the coating of high-quality papers and boards. Research has now opened

up outstanding application potentials for synthetic barium sulfate particles, such as

the barytes coating of extra fine photographic papers to assure high-gloss surfaces

and brilliant colours.

barium sulfate additives for enhanced efficiencyA new barium-sulfate-based additive for paper produces clear benefits for high-qual-

ity coated boards (for use in foodstuffs packaging systems, for example): printability

is improved significantly, gloss and colour brilliance are enhanced, and production

costs significantly reduced simultaneously.

11

high-purity rutile and anatase basesOf the large range of inorganic products made by Sachtleben, titanium dioxide, in

particular, is especially suitable for applications in catalysis. The sulfate route offers

opportunities to systematically obtain high-purity rutile and anatase bases, the

chemical and physical properties of which can be individually adjusted within broad

limits.

active in heterogeneous and photocatalysisSachtleben‘s titanium dioxide demonstrates its capabilities both in heterogene-

ous catalysis and as a photocatalyst. In the catalytic converter systems installed in

motor-vehicles and power plants, titanium dioxide particles assist in the exhaust-gas

cleaning (DeNOx) process. Micro and nanoparticles also show their special capabili-

ties in waste-water treatment. In plasters and paints, their photocatalytic properties

assure proactive prevention of room-air pollution. Active materials supplied by

Sachtleben are also in successful use for the synthesis of enzymes and of complex

organic molecules.

products containing iron for blast furnacesSachtleben developed Sachtleben developed high-fineness titanium-containing

synthetic additives for the steel industry; this iron/titanium compound

significantly prolongs blast furnace campaigns – another high-efficiency solution

„made by Sachtleben“.

pharmaceuticals / cosmetics / foodstuffs

titanium dioxide of high chemical puritySachtleben‘s titanium dioxide meets the requirements of all the main international

pharmacopoeias and is thus an indispensable additive for the pharmaceuticals and

cosmetics industries. These pigments are used in tablet coatings and assure radiant

whiteness and attractive colorations in toothpastes. X-ray barytes based on pure

synthetic barium sulfate serve as the high-quality basis for the production of X-ray

contrast agents and medical plastics.

state-of-the-art UV-A and UV-B absorbersModern sun-blocker products would be inconceivable without the highly effective

protection provided by UV filters based on ultrafine mineral titanium dioxide particles.

Many people‘s increased awareness of the need for protection against shortwave UV

radiation is, in addition, also opening up new applications in cosmetics for everyday

use. State-of-the-art UV-A and UV-B absorbers are now available, in the form of the

diverse Sachtleben product range.

kosher and halal certificated Sachtleben developed products specifically for the foodstuffs industry. High-purity

titanium dioxide anatase grades meet the requirements of E 171 and the FDA (Food

Additives Ordinance/Tobacco Ordinance) and also have Kosher and Halal certification.

13

plastics

additives for optimum product properties Sachtleben pigments are used in a large and diverse range of applications in the plas-

tics industry. Inorganic additives assist, for example, in the production of UV-barrier

films and durable window systems. Sachtleben additives are also ideal for mechanical

stability, and optimize the impact and bending strength of plastic products.

tailor-made solutions for modern materialsZinc sulfide specialities are soft and white, and are therefore ideal where mechani-

cal loadings are particularly high. They are used primarily in glass-fiber-reinforced

plastics (GRPs). In elastomers and compounds, particles from Sachtleben are incorpo-

rated into temperature-resistant seals and technical components, in the automotive

field, for example. Tailor-made solutions are also available to all customers for use in

composites and polyvinyl chloride.

14

packaging and printing inks

TiO2 specialities for optimum hiding powerSachtleben supplies highly visible benefits for the packaging and printing-ink

industries - the special attraction of the packaging, and the recognizability of the

brand, depend very largely on the printing ink used. Titanium dioxide is the most

commonly used white pigment for production of packaging and printing inks, due to

its optimum hiding power. Sachtleben‘s TiO2 specialities guarantee optimum opacity

and gloss, combined with excellent dispersibility, improving both productivity and

quality. In addition, the soft titanium dioxide white pigments assure low abrasiveness.

diverse applications in the printing industrySachtleben‘s titanium dioxide pigments are the result of many years of experience

and provide a unique diversity of particles and variations. They ensure that both flex-

ible films and metal, paper and board packaging systems can be optimally printed.

15

environmental products

products containing iron for water and cement The purification of both drinking water and waste water is an important field of

application for Sachtleben‘s environmental products. Ferric (III)sulfate is used as an

economic and effective flocculant to eliminate ultrafine suspended matter.

Sachtleben‘s SachtoFer products improve the hydraulic setting performance and

sulfate-resistance of cements. The ferrous (II) sulfate salts supplied by Sachtleben

enable the cement industry to reduce the toxic hexavalent chromium content of its

products and minimize health risks associated with the use of cement.
