In response to "specific market demands," Ciba Specialty Chemicals (www.cibasc.com), Basel / Switzerland, has completed an unquantified capacity expansion for its high performance diketo-pyrrolo-pyrrole (DPP) pigments at Monthey / Switzerland, and is planning another expansion, to go on stream in the fourth quarter of 2005. Additional capacity is also being created at Newport, Delaware, in the US. DPP pigments are used to colour plastics, in automotive and industrial coatings and colour filters for LCD monitors.
