Other Pigments FAQ
What makes Other Pigments different from standard colorants?
Other Pigments are specially formulated with higher purity levels and enhanced performance characteristics compared to standard colorants. They offer superior color strength, better dispersion properties, and improved stability under various environmental conditions. Our Other Pigments undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure consistent performance across batches.
How should I store Other Pigments to maintain their quality?
Other Pigments should be stored in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ideal storage temperature is between 15-25°C (59-77°F) with relative humidity below 65%. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination and moisture absorption.
What safety precautions should be taken when handling Other Pigments?
While our Other Pigments are generally safe, we recommend wearing appropriate PPE including dust masks, gloves, and safety glasses when handling powder forms. Ensure good ventilation in work areas and avoid creating dust clouds. For specific safety information, always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with each product.
