Daylight fluorescent colors make products more visible and more attractive. We created Brilliant Group to make accessing and using those fluorescent colorants easy for our customers. To help keep things simple, each product in our broad portfolio of pigments, toners, dispersions and ink concentrates is available in the same, easy-to-order, formulation anywhere in the world. Our R&D team directly supports our customers through the evaluation process to ensure the fastest path to success. This success is further compounded as our customers’ application experience informs the evolution of our products.

Our purpose is the cornerstone of our performance pledge: “Leading beyond chemistry to improve life, today and tomorrow.” It can be traced back to our company’s roots and describes why we do something, what drives us and the contribution Evonik makes to society over and above generating profits. At Evonik, we go beyond chemistry to make life a little better day in, day out – a goal we are committed to. We aim to have a direct, positive impact on everyone’s life by enhancing the properties of our customers’ products. Our purpose is hence the driving force behind our strategic decisions, through which we naturally take responsibility for the present and future generations.

"ARALON COLOR is an independent, ISO 9001:2015-certified specialty chemicals company based in D-56412 Heiligenroth (state of Rhineland-Palatinate), directly at motorway A3 in between Cologne and Frankfurt/M.. In a market that has not experienced any significant development or innovations over an extended period of time, in which strategic engagement and investments have been cut back and knowledge has depleted, ARALON COLOR considers itself protagonist of a new era of sustainable, application oriented developments in the area of luminescence and functional colorants. In 2013 we began development, production and sales of daylight fluorescent pigments for paints, printing inks, aerosols, plastics and many other applications at our newly built plant. Since then we have added fluorescent dyes, long lasting phosphorescent pigments as well as organic specialty pigments and dispersions to our offering."
