Market trends, functional performance demands and evolving research are reshaping how pigments are selected and evaluated in modern coatings formulations.
Each pigment manufacturer optimizes particle size for the specific properties for that pigment grade. Hiding, tint strength, photo stability, viscosity and surfactant/resin demand are all affected differently by particle size.
New research from Smithers indicates that the market for organic, inorganic and special-effect high-performance pigments (including metallic and pearlescent products) is facing a pivotal year.
According to a new market research report published by MarketsandMarkets™, the organic pigments market is projected to grow from $5.5 billion in 2021 to $6.7 billion by 2026.
Clariant’s Pigments Business Unit is showcasing its broad portfolio of high-performance and economical organic pigments that meet the exact demands for automotive, decorative and industrial coatings at Tabletop #52.
The Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer provides many advantages and immediate quality improvements in a coatings laboratory. Virtually any material (liquid or solid) can be chemically characterized using this technique.
Without the existence of specialized rods and cones inside the human eye, the world around us would be a much duller place. Without color, a key component of our visible experience would be lost and entire industries would be flushed away or dramatically altered, including interior and graphic design, clothing retail, advertising and especially the manufacturing of paints and coatings.
