Rebranding for certain Clariant pigments and additivesAs a consequence of Clariant’s spin-off from Sandoz in 1995, the Pigments & Additives Division of Clariant is now required to change the brand names of its products starting with the sylla-ble ‘SAND’. The official launch of the new brand names is 1 January 2007. Clariant will execute the name changes in all printed materials, online sites and product databases this year. The rebranding process is scheduled to be completed by 1 January 2008 and customers will be provided with updates to ensure a smooth transition, the company says.

Affected products relevant to polymers are: Sanduvor® light stabilizers (which will be rebrand-ed Hostavin®); Sandostab® stabilizers/antioxidants (new name Hostanox®); Sandoplast® polymer solu-ble dyes (Solvaperm®); and Sandospers(e)® pigment preparations for the coating industry (Hostatint®).
