Nubifer NB-5970, a micronized black iron oxide with a deep bluish undertone and great tinting strength, allows formulators to achieve real bluish-grey color shades.
Performance requirements for carbon black pigments are increasingly important in the development of advanced coating, ink and polymer formulations as the need for more eco-friendly products grows.
Advancements in pigment technologies enable architectural paint formulators to have the ability to provide a broader range of coatings that offer market-driven functionality without sacrificing performance.
The major ingredients present in undercoats are extender/filler pigments, which are essential for properties like filling, sanding, flow and durability
For PCI’s Distributor issue, PCI editor Kristin Johansson spoke with Sandeep Goel, PICA (Paints, Inks, Coatings and Adhesives) Business Leader at Nexeo Solutions, to discuss how the distribution model has evolved over the years, what trends distributors are seeing and the challenges that they face today.
Last year we published an article in this magazine on using polymeric hiding technologies as a means of reducing dependence on TiO2 in paint formulations.
