Back to school with
LANXESS Colorants

Editor: Laureen Wolfrum
Everyone has them at home and uses them in daily life. Whether at school or in the office. We are talking about ballpoint pens, highlighters, fineliners and gel pens.

Successful start into school with LANXESS

Noting down, highlightening and printing. Returning to the daily school routine often involves a lot of organization. The right stationery and materials help to get organized. That is exactly where LANXESS Colorants come in.

This is where LANXESS Colorants come into play

Colors occur in countless areas of our lives. LANXESS offers a wide range of colorants for different applications. There are colorants for printer cartridges and as well as for a wide variety of writing utensils.

When it comes to printer cartridges, a distinction is made between classic printer cartridges and CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System) printer technology. The last one is a growing and more sustainable application. Here, the ink tanks of the printers can be refilled with refill bottles instead of changing the entire cartridge.

LANXESS Colorants are also used in ballpoint pens, fountain pens and rollerball pens as well as in gel pens. Furthermore, in stamp pads, highlighters and artists' paints.

The colorants are marketed under the names Bayscript®, Special, Pyranin, as well as Nigrosin, Levanyl® and Levanox®.

What are the distinguishing features of LANXESS Colorants?

In addition to intense color strength, high brilliance and a long period of use, LANXESS colorants have other important characteristics:

  • High filterability that prevents clogging and corrosion of printer heads and pens
  • A continuous ink flow
  • Very good compatibility with common ink systems
  • A broad color portfolio
  • Water-based LANXESS portfolio as a more environmentally friendly alternative to solvent-based products

A local production and the highest quality standards

LANXESS markets water-based products. These do not contain solvents and are therefore more sustainable and environmentally friendly options for the ink industry. LANXESS places particular emphasis on local production in the production of colorants.
