February 2018 Newsletter • Your Idea. Our Solution.™
Dominion Colour Corporation is committed to providing the global markets with high-quality pigments for the coatings, plastics, inks, and dispersions industries. Over the course of February, many exciting things took place at DCC. We launched DCC’s Pigment Red 7188 – a yellow shade red pigment for high-end coatings applications, just in time for Valentines day! We also officially merged our dispersion business subsidiary, Gemini, into our organization. The DCC website now features the full range of dispersion products for you to browse. In order to remain competitive in this market, we also increased our prices on certain products. Last but not least, we’re pleased to announce that we’ve hired two new employees and promoted two of our long-standing employees.

February’s Featured Pigment: DCC Red 7188
In light of Valentine’s day, we are promoting the recently launched DCC Red 7188 (PR.188) this month. The colour red is associated with life, love, war, and death and evokes emotions of passion, energy, and power. It is our mission at DCC to bring vibrant pigments like Red 7188 to the world, in order to arouse these emotions from downstream customers. DCC Red 7188 is a bright yellow shade naphthol AS red pigment that is considered a drop-in match to the market standard. It used for a wide array of high-end coatings applications due to its excellent durability properties. It also represents an outstanding lead-free alternative to molybdate orange pigments and is registered world-wide.
Drop in Match to Market Standard
DCC Red 7188 it is considered a drop-in match in masstone and similar shade and strength in tint to the market standard (see Figure 1 & 2 below).

The ‘Gemsperse’ tradename has been retained as well as the individual product codes, so customers are able to order their products as before.
