Pigment FAQ Section
What makes Pigment different from regular dyes?
Pigment consists of insoluble color particles that remain on the surface of the substrate, offering superior lightfastness and weather resistance compared to dyes which penetrate materials. Our Pigment formulations provide exceptional opacity and color strength while maintaining chemical stability.
How should I store Pigment products?
Store Pigment in original tightly sealed containers at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F) with relative humidity below 65%. Keep away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture. Properly stored Pigment maintains optimal quality for 3-5 years from production date.
Can Pigment be used for food contact applications?
Select Pigment products meet FDA/EC food contact regulations when properly incorporated into approved formulations. We offer specific Pigment grades certified for food packaging, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical applications. Always verify regulatory compliance for your specific end-use.
Technical Advantages
Pigment delivers consistent performance across multiple applications due to:
- Precisely controlled particle size distribution
- Surface treatments for optimal dispersion
- Batch-to-batch color consistency (±0.5 ΔE)
- Low heavy metal content (meets international safety standards)

Pigment Dispersion Guidelines
For optimal results when working with Pigment:
- Pre-disperse in appropriate medium (resin, solvent, or water)
- Use high-speed mixing equipment (2000-4000 rpm recommended)
- Maintain proper temperature during dispersion (typically 25-50°C)
- Allow sufficient time for complete wetting (15-30 minutes depending on system)
Additional Pigment FAQ
What's the minimum order quantity for Pigment?
Standard Pigment offerings are available in quantities as small as 1kg for testing purposes, with typical production orders starting at 25kg. We provide volume discounts for orders exceeding 100kg of any single Pigment product.
Does Pigment require special handling equipment?
While Pigment is safe to handle with standard industrial PPE (gloves, dust masks), we recommend using dust collection systems during large-scale processing. Our technical team can provide specific Pigment handling guidelines for your facility.
Can custom Pigment formulations be developed?
Our R&D department specializes in creating tailored Pigment solutions. We can develop custom colors, adjust particle characteristics, or modify surface treatments to meet specific application requirements with minimum order quantities.
