Founded by Dr. R. K. Dhote, Lona Industries has been a pioneer in the Indian pigment industry, establishing one of India’s earliest footprints in Copper Phthalocyanine pigments. From these beginnings, Lona has grown into a recognised supplier of Phthalocyanine Blues, Greens, Quinacridones, Specialty Pigments and Intermediates for Coatings, Plastics, Inks, Textiles, and Rubber in line with international colourant regulations and tested for consistent quality.
Today, guided by the principles of quality and discipline, we continue to invest in modern systems, sustainable operations, and transparent governance to serve the evolving needs of industries worldwide. At Lona, colour is more than a product – it is our legacy, our responsibility, and our promise to deliver trusted pigments for lasting partnerships.
Copper Phthalocyanine (CPC) is the core building block for all Phthalocyanine Blues and Greens, serving as the precursor to pigments.
Lona produces a full range of Copper Phthalocyanine Blues (PB 15:1, PB 15:2, PB 15:3, PB 15:4, CPC Crude, Alpha and Beta forms). Known for their brilliant shade, high tinting strength.
Our Phthalocyanine Green 7 and Green 36 pigments offer bright green shades with outstanding light and weather fastness, making them ideal for automotive coatings.
Lona’s portfolio includes high-performance Quinacridone Reds (PR 122) and Quinacridone Violets (PV 19). These pigments provide exceptional colour strength.
