Organic pigments<br />

Only a range of organic color pigments can provide the maximum<br />

scope of coloristic possibilities. However, not every<br />

coloristically interesting pigment is suitable for application in<br />

<strong>powder</strong> <strong>coating</strong>s. The colorants must first satisfy a series of<br />

basic technical/physical requirements. These include heat<br />

resistance, dispersibility and good shade reproducibility.<br />

Special attention was paid to these criteria in drawing up the<br />

following pigment selection, which can <strong>make</strong> it much easier<br />

for the user to put together his final assortment. Since in practice<br />

there are a great variety of applications, each with its own<br />

requirements, we cannot consider every application possibility<br />

here. <strong>We</strong> therefore recommend appropriate preliminary tests<br />

under the user’s own specific production conditions.<br />

Examples of desirable properties:<br />

• resistance to amines and amides<br />

• hiding power<br />

• dispersibility<br />

• color strength<br />

• chromaticity<br />

• minimum plate-out<br />

• heat resistance<br />

• minimum thermochromism<br />

• suitability for over<strong>coating</strong><br />

• fastness to weathering<br />

• cost efficiency<br />
