Centre Colours are industry leaders in supplying high-quality pigment
dispersions for use in paints, inks and other coatings. Our high standard of
production is never compromised because we have a stringent manufacturing process
with full quality assurance procedures. We can easily tailor our service to
suit your specific product requirements. This is what makes us stand out in the
industry.
You can, if you prefer, tell us the precise formulation that you require
and also supply us with the raw materials so that we can toll manufacture
products on your behalf. We are happy to work with customers in this way in
order to provide the end-result that is needed. Our manufacturing operations
are fully flexible and our processes can be adapted to suit your requirements.
Alternatively, we can provide a full service that includes sourcing
materials and then manufacturing into dispersions for inks and paints. We always
work closely with all of our clients to ensure their exact specifications are
met.
Bespoke Service
Of all our capabilities, we remain proud to be able to offer an
individualised service for manufacturing any kinds of dispersions, including those
for bespoke blend scheme inks. To the benefit of our customers, this
bespoke service means that our products will always meet specific uses and
applications.
We have also developed some standard ranges of our own, and many of our
customers are happy to make a selection this way. For example, we have a set of litho concentrates
that can easily be used in conventional offset inks (sheetfed,
heatset etc.) and another for radiation-cured inks.
Performance Products and Leading Technologies
We have a department that specialises in manufacturing performance pigment
dispersions
that impart specific physical or chemical properties using
materials such as graphene. Graphene inks
have evolved since
they were first developed at Manchester University in 2004. They have many
uses, not least the ability to conduct electrical current.
Another example of performance coatings is the hi-tech ceramic ink
technology. Certain innovative devices
require chemical agents to be bound to metallic surfaces in the form of enamels
in order to function. We can formulate
special inks to apply the relevant ingredients to the intended substrates. The printed components are then stoved in an
oven where the films of ink film are converted into enamels. We are proud to be
at the forefront of this modern technological revolution in performance inks.
Flexible Facilities
Our pigment dispersion plant in Yorkshire has five mixers that can cater
to a variety of batch sizes ranging from 50kg to 400kg. All batches are fully
documented during manufacture to ensure consistency of quality.
Furthermore, we are pleased to manufacture small or large batches, and
we will always ensure the highest quality no matter what the quantity. We are
an independent dispersion house, which means we can provide bespoke dispersions
for inks, paints, and other coatings without you risking the divulging of
sensitive information to one of your competitors.
