Fibers: Undisputed leaderSachtleben is the world leading supplier of HOMBITAN anataseparticles for synthetic fiberSachtleben’s HOMBITAN anatase particles are easy to disperseand provide excellent whiteness, high opacity, minimumabrasion and light-fastnessDuring production, they increase filter service-lives, improvethread guide and hinder fiber breakageFor sports- and functional clothing they provide UV protectionThe Melt Conditioning Technology (MCT) allows flexibledelustering by adding specially designedHOMBITAN anatase particles shortly before spinningWe innovate and facilitate production in the textile industry14

Films: Highest Opacity or TransparencySpecially designed additives from Sachtleben ensure highestlevels of opacity and reflectivity of biaxially oriented filmsSachtleben provides tailor-made solutions for films used in flatpanel displays, solar backsheets and super size advertising boardsInnovative antiblocking additives from Sachtleben ensurehighest levels of transparency and brillianceThey provide more control, greater homogeneity and smallerscale texturing for surfaces of PET films than with conventionalsilica solutionsOptimum interaction properties with the polymer, and thecontrolled and extremely narrow particle size distribution isassured by a special production processOur particles help to produce top quality opaque or transparent films15

Cosmetics: Colors and protectionTitanium dioxide of high chemical purity for the decorativecosmetics industryUltrafine mineral titanium dioxide particles as state-of-the-art UVabsorbersfor modern sunscreens and everyday skincare productsAnatase and rutile pigments for top-quality and brightly coloredhand soaps, shampoos and shower gelsAdherence to the legally required purity levels (EU and international)and production according to ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001 standardsguarantee safety and quality of end productsWe supply the highlights for the decorative cosmetics industry16

Pharmaceuticals: Providing contrastsSachtleben’s titanium dioxide of high chemical purity makes brightwhite or colored tablet coatings for leading pharmaceuticalmanufacturersSachtleben is the global #1 in synthetical manufactured bariumsulphate grades x-ray contrast agentsBarium sulphate increases the radio-opacity of medical plastics,bone cement and toy components to make them easily visible on thex-ray screenSachtleben products naturally comply with the legally requiredpharmaceutical standards of the European (PH.Eur/E.P),Japanese (JP) and American (USP) pharmacopoeia.Our special pigments are essential for the pharmaceutical applications17

Food: A feast for the eyesUltra-high purity anatase particles present lollipops, chewing gum andicing in an appetizing white – or provide the basis for their freshcolorsApproved as food additive and compliant with all required qualitystandards (E171)Sachtleben food products satisfy kosher and halal requirements andare ECOCERT certifiedOur ultra-pure and safe TiO 2 -particles make food look delicious18

Plastics: A growth market TiO 2 specialities for outdoor and indoor applications combineexcellent dispersibility with high weathering resistance SACHTOLITH soft and white Zinc sulfide specialities for glass-fiberreinforcedplastics (GRPs) and masterbatches, Sachtleben servescustomers in fast growing niche segments Additives for mechanical stability optimize the impact and bendingstrength of plastic products Growing segment for Sachtleben, particularly window profiles, drivenby increasing living standards and energy saving regulationsSpeciality pigments for durable plastic components19

Coatings: Functional and colorfulSachtleben rutile pigments are all-rounders for beautiful protection,fascinating colors and dazzling white offering exceptional lightandweather resistance over a whole range of materialsInnovative mechanical characteristics in car paints provide betterprotection against stone chips and scratching in car washesThanks to their photoactive reactivity, inorganic additives fromSachtleben promote the self-cleaning of surfaces and removepollutants in the airHigh-quality, barium-sulfate based functional additives help lowerthe consumption of expensive pigments and allow additionalfunctional characteristics to be includedExcellent covering power, weather resistance and protection20

Printing Inks: Highest brillianceTiO 2 specialities guarantee optimum opacity and gloss, combinedwith excellent hiding power and low abrasionDiverse applications in the printing industry with flexible packagingfilms and metal deco, paper and board packaging systems foroptimal printing resultsSachtleben offers a wide selection of unique titanium dioxide gradesfor flexible packaging inksWe make products appear in the best light21

CatalysisOver 90% of all chemical substances undergo catalysis during theproduction process: TiO 2 is the catalyst support of choice for thedesulfurization of crude oil, the oxidative synthesis of organiccompounds and numerous other chemical processesTitanium dioxide catalyst and catalyst supports are used in thedenitrification of waste gas of power plants, industrial plants ordiesel engines as well as in biodiesel productionFor PET production, Sachtleben offers highly effective inorganiccatalysts with a zero heavy-metal contentWe help initiate, accelerate and control chemical processes22

Iron and steel industryRUTILIT-Titanium dioxide based additives for wear protection areused in blast furnaces, for refractory materials and for graphiteelectrodesThe physical properties, such as surface area, crystallite size,particle diameter, pore diameter or pore volume, can be customized Immediate treatment of hot spots in the hearth –hot repair of this zone is possibleWe help to extend blast furnace-hearth life23

Paper: Improving printabilityExcellent combination of dispersibility, opacity, high weatheringresistance and light fastness for laminates, kitchen work plate,security papers, wallpapers and printing productsPigments for refined surfaces assure high-gloss surfaces, lightfastnessand brilliant colours in photography and art printCustomized solutions offer improvement in the optical,mechanical, physical or chemical properties of the paperBarium sulfate additives for enhanced efficiency reduce productioncostsOur pigments add value to paper products24

Environmental products: Healthy growthWater-soluble heavy metal content can be minimized with thehelp of Sachtleben’s ferrous sulfate and ferric hydroxideClay and limestone used for cement frequently contain traces ofchromate compounds, which can cause cement dermatitis - thetreatment of raw materials with ferrous sulfate eliminates this riskSachtleben products offer an economical source of iron andsulphur for fertilizers to avoid iron chlorosis and sulphur deficiencyin plantsThe addition of ferrous sulphate as a trace element in animal feedminimizes the risk of iron deficiency anaemia in animalsSachtleben specialties help to protect the environment25
