The Lubrizol Corporation announces that it has acquired Diamond Dispersions Ltd., a company exclusively focused on the production of water-based dye and pigment dispersions for inks used in digital printing. Headquartered in Sheffield, UK, Diamond Dispersions has established itself as a producer of dispersions, gaining a significant share in this growing niche market. Diamond Dispersions will advance Lubrizol Performance Coatings' goal to grow its portfolio of products that enable digital printing.
