Paint and Coating Pigments

RSS

PPG Industries recently released its annual automotive color popularity and trend data.

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.

A significant way to attract potential buyers is by visually appealing to them.

The major ingredients present in undercoats are extender/filler pigments, which are essential for properties like filling, sanding, flow and durability
