Pigment & Dye

Pigments and dyes provide color, opacity, tint strength, and visual consistency in coatings, plastics, inks, textiles, construction materials, and other industrial systems. The current category includes phthalocyanine blue, red iron oxide, barium sulfate, and 2-naphthol for colorant or intermediate applications.

Selection should consider color index, shade, particle size, tinting strength, dispersibility, heat and light resistance, chemical stability, and compatibility with the target binder or substrate. State the application, required color or reference standard, test method, quantity, and package preference. Production trials are recommended because final appearance depends on dispersion equipment, loading, and the complete formulation.
