The Difference Between Organic Pigments And Inorganic Pigments

They are roughly divided into two types: an inorganic pigment and an organic one. Inorganic pigments are also called ‘mineral pigments’ having high chemical resistances and excellent hiding power; however, they have less tinting strength than organic pigments. As its name suggests, organic pigments are synthetized from organic compounds. They are brighter and more colorful than inorganic pigments, having small particle and higher tinting strength. However they have less hiding power and chemical resistances.
