RESOURCES / CHEMTIVE BRAND

One mark, two colours, no exceptions.

The Chemtive identity is deliberately narrow: a single wordmark, a navy and steel palette, and two typefaces. This page holds the files and the rules for using them.

Six values, and where each one belongs

Navy carries the brand. Steel, mist and pale do the supporting work, with no other colours, including for charts.

VOICE

Say the specific thing

We sell materials that either meet a specification or do not. The writing works the same way.

Numbers over adjectives: “shipped in 48 hours”, not “rapid delivery”.
Name the chemistry, the market and the constraint. Assume a technical reader.
No superlatives, no “solutions provider”, no “passion for innovation”.
Say what we cannot do as plainly as what we can.
