Shepherd Color has developed a new pigment chemistry that features excellent durability, high opacity and a bright clean yellow color. Niobium Tin Pyrochlore (NTP) Yellow 10C151 is an innovative inorganic pigment that expands the envelope of durable color. It is a bridge between the high-chromaticity of organic pigments with the durability and opacity of inorganic pigments. The NTP Yellow is a new class of Complex Inorganic Colored Pigment under the designation Pigment Yellow 227 and is covered by a number of patents around the world.
To complement the NTP Yellow, the company is also introducing an improvement of a current product line with a new offering in its Rutile Tin Zinc (RTZ) Orange pigment line. RTZ Orange 10C341 offers increased redness, higher heat stability and excellent weathering when compared to current market offerings.
