Pigments For Enhancing The Look And Quality Of Surfaces

Pigments are used by manufacturers to color many different materials in a wide range of industries.

High-quality paints and coatings are immediately recognizable, in particular, by their high color intensity and covering power. However, perfect colourant does not just give a surface an exceptional appearance. The use of high-quality pigments can also optimize an object's physical properties.

Organic color pigments are mainly used in printing inks and other coatings industries. Even solvents and highly aqueous solutions (such as inks) can become exceptionally vibrant through the addition of pigments.

On the other hand, inorganic color pigments are predominantly used in paints and varnishes. These pigments do not just increase color intensity, but also optimize the physical properties of a material's surface. They make paints and varnishes more resistant to extreme weather conditions, UV radiation, chemicals and high temperatures. The improvement to the durability and fastness means that paints can maintain their color intensity, vibrancy and hiding power for a long time. Inorganic pigments are therefore very well suited for use in all kinds of interior and exterior paints.
