PressReleasePing - June 26, 2018 - EAST LIVERPOOL, OH - <strong>Mason</strong> <strong>Color</strong> <strong>Works</strong> has conducted testing on its<br />

complex inorganic colored pigment <strong>7389</strong> <strong>Catalina</strong> alongside two additional pigments used in the pool industry.<br />

<strong>Testing</strong> reveals <strong>7389</strong> <strong>Catalina</strong> has superior degradation resistance properties to chemicals used in maintaining<br />

pools, versus competitor pool colors.<br />

<strong>Testing</strong> consisted of saturating each pigment in a solution with common pool chemicals. <strong>Pigment</strong>s were soaked in<br />

sodium bisulfate (pH Minus), trichloro-s-triazinetrione (chlorine stabilizer) and calcium hypochlorite (shock). <strong>Pigment</strong>s<br />

were compared to a control group consisting of the pigments in distilled water. Throughout the testing, <strong>Catalina</strong> <strong>7389</strong><br />

had minimal color change while the other pigments had noticeable degradation at various stages. The pigments were<br />

dried, and results measured with a colorimeter.<br />

Further testing was conducted by soaking cement cakes colored with the pigments in the same chemical solutions for<br />

one week. <strong>Catalina</strong> <strong>7389</strong> maintained its color consistency in every solution while the two other pigments showed<br />

signs of degradation.<br />
