Pigment Orange FAQ Section
What is the difference between Pigment Orange and dye?
Pigment Orange consists of insoluble color particles that remain on the surface of the substrate, providing opacity and UV resistance. Dyes are soluble compounds that penetrate materials but typically offer inferior lightfastness. Pigment Orange maintains color consistency longer in outdoor applications.
How should I store Pigment Orange powder?
Store Pigment Orange in original packaging in a cool, dry place (15-25°C/59-77°F) with relative humidity below 65%. Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture. Sealed containers prevent oxidation and maintain optimal particle dispersion properties for up to 3 years.
Performance Characteristics
| Property | Test Method | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Weather Resistance | ISO 4892-2 | 500+ hours xenon arc |
| Dispersion Quality | ASTM D4898 | Hegman ≥7 |
| Chemical Resistance | DIN 53778 | Class 4-5 (acid/alkali) |

Can Pigment Orange be mixed with other pigments?
Pigment Orange shows excellent compatibility with most inorganic and organic pigments. For optimal results, conduct compatibility tests with specific pigment combinations. Avoid mixing with pigments containing heavy metals or reactive chemical groups. Recommended blending ratio tests should be performed at 5%, 10%, and 20% concentrations.
