Laboratory R&D for paint manufacturers A technologically advanced research laboratory, well-tested formulations, strictly controlled production processes, an effective custom-oriented trading organization are the components of a very modern company ready to face the challenges of the second millennium. UCIC Company was established in 1925 in the center of Asti. In the ‘50s UCIC Company widens its sales to whole Italy and abroad, and reaches an important position in its field within only a few years. Since 1970 UCIC was the first Italian Company which used acrylic resins in the formulation of nearly all its water-based colours and 1978 completely replaced the solvent-based products formulation and the conventional white spirit (16-18% aromatics) with dearomatised white spirit (max 0.1% aromatics!). In the same period, all the pigments containing lead (chromates and molybdates) and lead dryers were totally replaced in order to obtain the best results for solvent-based products, in full obedience of the environment. In 2008, the trade mark CASAITALIA was created for the Decorative line. In 2009 UCIC has focused on customizing products and packaging for other manufacturers request. In 2013 the trade mark UCICDECOLAB was created for paint manufacturers.
