Complex Inorganic Color Pigments: Durable Pigments For Demanding Applications
Complex inorganic color pigments (CICPs) provide enhanced performance in Heat and chemical stability, UV opacity, hiding power, and infrared (IR) reflectivity.
When purchasing color pigments, color is one of the most important factors in product selection. However, when pigments are needed for exterior durable or high heat coatings, physical and spectral features other than color are an equally important consideration. Heat and chemical stability, UV opacity, hiding power, and infrared (IR) reflectivity are important attributes in such coatings. Complex inorganic color pigments (CICPs) provide enhanced performance in these key areas.
CICPs are very stable pigments, and for all practical purposes are chemically inert. They can withstand the most chemically aggressive environments and still retain their color. They will not fade in the presence of ozone, acid rain, SOx, NOx or other air pollutants common in industrialized areas. They will even remain colorfast in the presence of strong acids, bases, oxidizing or reducing agents. They are non-migratory, and will not dissolve or bleed in contact with solvents.
