Pigment Powder

Applications of Pigment Powder  

1.Coatings and Paint Industry  

– Function：Imparts color, hiding power, and durability to coatings, while improving mechanical properties of the film (e.g., wear resistance, weather resistance).  

– Application Scenarios：  

  – Architectural coatings (wall paints, wood paints), industrial coatings (automotive paints, marine paints), anti-corrosion coatings, etc.  

  – Widely used in water-based coatings, solvent-based coatings, and powder coatings.  

2. Plastics and Rubber Industry  

– Function：Colors plastic and rubber products, with some pigments providing properties like light resistance, heat resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance.  

– Application Scenarios：  

  – Injection-molded products (toys, daily necessities), films (packaging materials), pipes, rubber tires, and seals.  

  – Pigments must match the processing temperature of plastics (e.g., high-temperature nylon requires pigments resistant to >200°C).  

3. Ink Printing Field  

– Function：Serves as the coloring component of inks, affecting the color vividness, drying speed, and adhesion fastness of printed materials.  

– Application Scenarios：  

  – Packaging printing (cartons, plastic films), publication printing (books, magazines), digital printing, etc.  

  – Special inks like UV inks and metallic inks require dedicated pigment powders.  

4. Cosmetics and Daily Necessities  

– Function：Used for coloring cosmetics, requiring compliance with safety standards (e.g., EU REACH, US FDA certification).  

– Application Scenarios：  

  – Cosmetics (lipstick, eyeshadow, foundation), nail polish, hair dyes, etc.  

  – Some inorganic pigments (e.g., iron oxides) are commonly used in sunscreen products due to high stability.  

5. Ceramics and Glass Industry  

– Function：Provides stable colors to ceramic and glass products during high-temperature sintering.  

– Application Scenarios：  

  – Ceramic tableware, tiles, artworks, and glassware (e.g., colored glass cups, decorative glass).  

  – Requires high-temperature-resistant (＞800℃) inorganic pigments (e.g., zirconium silicate-based pigments).  

6. Paper and Textile Industries  

– Paper Industry：  

  – Colors paper (e.g., printing paper, packaging paper) or acts as a coating pigment to improve surface properties.  

– Textile Industry：  

  – Colors fabrics through printing and dyeing processes; some pigments are used in functional textiles (e.g., UV-resistant fabrics).  

7. Other Special Fields  

– Fluorescent pigments：For safety signs, anti-counterfeiting printing, and fluorescent coatings.  

– Conductive pigments：Added to coatings or plastics to impart conductivity (e.g., electromagnetic shielding materials).  

– Luminescent pigments：Absorb light energy and glow, used for luminous signs, artistic decorations, etc.
