Last update on Apr 27, 2026
Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha (ISK) is a developer of inorganic materials for the coatings industry, supporting manufacturers and formulators with pigments and functional materials aligned with evolving performance, durability, and sustainability expectations. ISK advances technologies relevant to modern coating systems.
Advancing modern coating system technologies
For coatings applications, ISK offers a portfolio that includes super-durable titanium dioxide pigments designed for long-term exterior performance, as well as specialty functional pigments that address heat management and electrical conductivity. ISK’s super-durable titanium dioxide is engineered to help coatings meet durability specifications such as AAMA 2605 by supporting appearance retention and color stability in coatings formulated with organic pigments.
ISK’s functional black pigment incorporates IR-reflective technology developed to help limit heat buildup and support cool-coating requirements, while maintaining neutral black aesthetics and enabling variety in dark-colored coatings. The company also supplies white conductive pigment solutions intended for coatings that require permanent antistatic properties in white and light-color formulations.
As coatings producers place increasing emphasis on durability and lifecycle performance, ISK supports customers not only through material supply, but also by sharing technical perspectives on evaluation methods relevant to titanium dioxide performance in coatings.
ISK will attend the American Coatings Show 2026, providing an opportunity for coatings professionals to engage in discussions related to material selection, application requirements, and development considerations.
Meetings may be arranged during the event or through follow-up discussions after the show. Attendees can request a meeting with Ishihara representatives at ACS 2026: Email at sales@ishihara.com.
