Sustainability
Colour that is safer to make, safer to use and lighter on resources.
Our products end up in packaging, pipes, pavers, textiles, cosmetics and homes. That gives us a responsibility well beyond our own site: what we put into a dispersion or a masterbatch travels into millions of finished goods. Our approach to sustainability therefore starts with the chemistry itself.
Our four commitments
Safer chemistry
Choose pigments, carriers and additives that avoid substances of concern: no lead, cadmium or hexavalent-chromium pigments in masterbatch, styrene-free composite pastes, halogen- and antimony-free additive batches, no restricted azo dyes.
Water-based and low-emission
Offer water-based coatings and dispersions wherever the application allows, and APEO-free, formaldehyde-free options for textiles and inks.
Resource efficiency
Help customers use less: high-strength concentrates that colour at low dosing, filler masterbatches that cut polymer use, recycled polyethylene granules and dust-free forms that reduce waste.
Transparency
Publish technical data sheets for every family, and issue a GHS/CLP safety data sheet and a regulatory summary for every grade we sell.
How our products help
Cooler buildings and products
FLYCOOL IR-reflective colours in FLYBATCH reflect near-infrared sunlight, lowering heat build-up in profiles, decking and roofing.
How cool colours workLess polymer per part
FLYFILL calcium carbonate, talc and barium sulphate masterbatches replace part of the virgin polymer in film and moulded goods.
FLYFILLA second life for polyethylene
Our recycled HDPE and LDPE granules return sorted, washed polyethylene to moulding and extrusion.
Recycled granulesHealthier workplaces for customers
Dust-free FLYCRETE granules and slurries, liquid FLYPULP dyes and pre-dispersed pastes keep dry pigment out of the air at our customers' plants.
FLYCRETECleaner composites shops
FLYCHROMA UP pastes add no styrene vapour at the mixing station and are phthalate-free.
Why styrene-freeWater-based packaging coatings
FLYCOAT varnishes, primers and barrier coatings for paper, board and film are water-based.
