At the Middle East Concrete show Huntsman will promote its Iron Oxide and Ferroxide iron oxide pigments, which have a high tint strength and can deliver clean consistent colors. It will also be highlighting solutions from its Granufin pigment granule range. Granufin pigments are free flowing, easy to handle and virtually dust-free. Featuring a special binding ingredient, Granufin pigments stay intact during transportation and metering, helping to create a cleaner manufacturing environment.

In Dubai, Huntsman will also talk to visitors about its liquid Hydrotint pigment slurries. Based on high-quality synthetic pigments such as iron oxide, chrome oxide, titanium dioxide and carbon pigment, these aqueous pigment dispersions are especially formulated for the creation of colored concrete. Concrete formulators looking to source metering and dispensing equipment should also head to the Huntsman stand MEC G177 at Middle East Concrete show at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai.
