Pigments (inorganic and organic)

Pigments give plastics colour, opacity and light protection. Titanium dioxide is the main source of whiteness and hiding power, carbon black of black colour and UV protection; organic pigments provide vivid shades. Thermal stability, migration and light fastness are selected for the polymer and application; they are usually used in masterbatch form.

Overview

Pigment is the standard grade of the Pigment family in the additives group. It is used in applications such as masterbatch production, colouring of packaging and household goods, uv protection of outdoor products (carbon black). The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.
