Alufinish GmbH & Co. KG now offers organic dyes for colouring anodised aluminium surfaces that are made by the Thai producer Modern Dyestuff & Pigments Co. Ltd. (MDP).
Alumino® organic dyes are supplied in powder form and can be dissolved in water as usual prior to dyeing the porous surfaces by absorption. Besides standard shades such as black, blue, red, green, brown or yellow, the current range of colours is now to be expanded to incorporate special hues. Organic colourants are characterised by their good water solubility as well as their low sensitivity to temperature and pH fluctuations. In addition to the shades available for indoor applications, the range includes dyes that are highly resistance to light, temperature and weathering and thus ideal for outdoor use.
As one of the leading manufacturers of dyes and pigments, the MDP Group and their partners have been marketing colourants in more than 70 countries worldwide since 1990. Their customers include all the industrial sectors in which large quantities of dye are required, in particular the leather, textile, paper and aluminium industries. To meet the constantly increasing demands of the market, the main focus of the company's corporate philosophy is on the continuous advancement of their products. This ensures that international standards are also complied with and guarantees the high quality and lasting durability of their products. MDP operate two production locations in Thailand and China as well as their own development centre.
Thanks to their favourable sales and marketing structure together with an extensive customer network, Alufinish GmbH & Co KG are taking over the global distribution of Alumino® dyes for the aluminium pre-treatment sector with immediate effect. The only exception is the Chinese market which will continue to be directly served by MDP. In future, Alufinish will be able to offer an organic alternative for dyeing anodised aluminium which will benefit the European market in particular.
