• The US market for dyes and organic pigments (organic colorants) is expected to increase 2.8 percent per year to $3.1 billion in 2005, with volume over the same period forecast to reach 675 million pounds.

• Organic pigments, having overtaken dyes during the latter half of the 1990s to become the predominant segment in 2000, will continue to lead growth, while demand for dyes will remain weak due to heavy reliance on the sluggish textile industry.

• While development of high performance and other specialty pigments for water-based inks, powder coatings and radiation-curable inks and coatings will spur value gains, volume advances will be restrained by the lofty prices of these specialty pigments.

• Positive growth opportunities are to be found in the rapidly growing market for dyes used in digital printing inks and high-tech imaging.

• Disperse dyes will record the best performance among textile dyes, based on the resurgence in popularity of polyester and polyester blends in apparel and home furnishings, and the development of higher-value specialty disperse dyes, which face less competition from low-cost imports than do lower-performance types.

• The six leading suppliers -- Ciba Specialty Chemicals, DyStar, Clariant, Sun Chemical, Bayer and BASF -- accounted for nearly two-thirds of the total market in 2000.

Dyes & Organic Pigments #1439 Order form on last page 5 Market Environment

The Market Environment Section discusses factors influencing dye and organic pigment demand, including

consumer spending and demographic MARKET ENVIRONMENT trends.

Pollution Control Issues This information provides you with an understanding and an analysis of the Primary environmental concerns regarding the manufacture of dyes and organic pigments stem from the release of unwanted contaminants (either the dyes and climate in which the dyes and organic pigments themselves or theirSAMPLE derivatives orPAGE intermediates) into wastewater pigments industry operates. streams. While dyes and organic pigments are usually not hazardous to the environment when released into wastewater, such discharges can create undesirable physical, chemical and/or aesthetic effects. For instance, wastewater color has become a concern for participants in the textile and other dye-using industries where the discharge of certain colorants can be aesthetically undesirable. This is particularly true for dyes and pigments with high tinctorial strength and low fixation rates (e.g., red reactive dyes), as even small quantities may be seen when the colorant is discharged into effluent streams. The overall amount of colorants released into open waters has consistently declined in the past decade or so.

In addition to coloring problems, dyes and pigments may also add unwanted contaminants to wastewater, including salts, various acids and bases, heavy metals and electrolytes. The presence of urea, commonly found in the wastewater of continuous and printing establishments, has been a particular problem in recent years.

In 1994, the EPA proposed that certain waste products created during the manufacture of dyes and organic pigments should be classified as hazardous. Such waste includes the sludge produced during the manufacture of azo pigments and dyes (with the exception of food, drug and cosmetic -- FD&C -- pigments) and effluent from triarlymethane dyes and pigments. In 1993, the EPA removed xylenol, a raw material used in the manufacture of dyestuffs, from the list of pretreatment contaminants.

The largest producers of HPP are BASF, Bayer, Ciba, Clariant and Sun Chemical.

In addition to performance concerns, environmental and consumer/ worker safety concerns have also prompted development of lower- and nondusting powdered, as well as liquid, colorants to reduce dust. Ciba, CK Witco, Clariant, Day-Glo, DyStar, Toyo Ink and others all offer dust-free and/or liquid colorant formulations.
