Pharma and Cosmetics

KRONOS offers high purity TiO2 pigments that are approved for the coloring of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

They are used in a variety of applications such as decorative cosmetics and personal care products, or as colorant for different pharmaceuticals worldwide. KRONOS grades boost opacity and brightness in combination with a prolonged shelf life providing unique benefits to various cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations by protecting their active substances from decomposition by light.  For pharmaceuticals, KRONOS TiO2 provides a very important additional function—allowing patients to distinguish between medications based on color or color marking of the products made possible by TiO2.

Inks

White TiO2 pigments are increasingly used in various printing technologies and applications, especially in the field of solvent-based and waterborne gravure, flexographic, and digital printing inks. The low abrasion behavior and excellent opacity of optimized KRONOS ink grades produced by the sulfate process are key attributes for various printing inks.

KRONOS’ forward-thinking attitude has led to a range of innovative products, such as the novel white aqueous pigment concentrate for digital printing, which provides an excellent storage stability based on anti-settlement properties paired with superior opacity and highest whiteness properties.

Paper

High whiteness, excellent opacity, as well as good retention behavior in paper pulp, are key properties of the KRONOS pigments for paper applications. The use of optical brighteners in combination with our anatase pigments subsequently enhances the whiteness and the bluish tone of the resulting paper and paper coatings. For paper laminates, KRONOS offers a tailor-made rutile product that shows excellent UV stability and high yellowing resistance.
