Many of the news-items presented in Focus on Pigments as embellished abstracts are based on material from Elsevier's Chemical Business NewsBase (CBNB), which in turn draws on some 300 newspapers, trade and financial journals plus an unrivalled assemblage of "grey literature" (company press-releases, financial reports, house-journals, brochures and patent documentation) from all over the world.

Each item that appears in Focus on Pigments is footnoted with references to original sources to facilitate searches for further background information.

The Editorial at the front of each issue runs to 750-1000 words and normally discusses trends in a particular geographical area, the market for particular types of pigment or end-use sectors (paint, ink, plastics, paper, cosmetics, food, etc.), environmental developments, conference proceedings or issues of general topical interest.

In addition, the Events section at the back of each issue provides a regularly updated calendar of forthcoming events (conferences, seminars) of interest to participants in the pigment industry and related sectors.
