Paliocrom® Premium
With its very smooth silver dollar flakes coated in iron oxide, Paliocrom® Premium pigments simultaneously deliver superior travel, DOI and hiding. This is possible due to a very narrow particle size distribution and passivated flakes that provide gassing stability. The resulting extraordinary brilliance and unmatched styling options make this the new benchmark over a wide color range.
The Paliocrom® Evolution
It all began in 1983 with the invention of Paliocrom® and the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Work began on Paliocrom® gold and the first product, Gold L 2000, was presented to customers in 1991. Two years later, the introduction of the first automotive shade “Apache” boosted sales for the Opel Tigra. In 2000, passive Paliocrom® grades for waterborne applications were invented and in the period from 1997 to 2016, the capacity of the CVS process was expanded four times in line with product developments.
Our timeline shows how the Paliocrom® pigment family has grown to fill the yellow-to-red color range.
