By covering different surfaces with pigments, they can be protected against various atmospheric conditions, humidity and chemical compounds. Also, by using these pigments, things look more beautiful and attractive. They also use these pigments in the production of colored masterbatches. In this way, the pigments are poured with polymer resin into the spiral and granulation machine and are mixed together. Among other uses of these pigments are:
✅ Dyeing of iron and paper facilities
✅Production of printing inks
✅Production of plastic paints
✅Production of cellulose paints
✅Production of oil paints
✅Production of varnish
✅ Production of varnishes
What is the use of pigment?
What are the types of pigments?
In general, pigments are produced in two types, inorganic and organic, which may be natural or synthetic. In the following, we will introduce each one:
Organic pigments
Organic pigments are available today more than mineral types. Phthalocyanines are one of the most important organic pigments that exist in garlic and blue colors. Blue pigments or copper phthalocyanines are among the most important pigments due to their high resistance against various factors. Some of the new pigments have an organometallic structure.
Mineral pigments
Mineral pigments are naturally formed from the earth's crust. To extract these pigments, the stones are first washed and crushed, and finally meshing is done. Of course, mineral pigments can also be synthesized artificially. But their natural type is better and has more quality. Mineral pigments are available in different types of aluminum, zinc and bronze powder, copper oxide, black iron oxide, yellow iron oxide, red and white iron oxide, or natural mineral.
The features of the pigmentation
Natural and artificial pigments
As we mentioned above, pigments exist in two types, natural and synthetic, in terms of structure. Natural pigments are obtained from the earth's crust and its dimensions are graded. For every natural pigment, its synthetic type is also available and it is produced by a chemical process. Natural pigments are chemically identical to the synthetic type. But artificial pigments are more crystalline and have more purity and therefore have more quality.
What is a pigment solvent?
Pigment solvents can be composed of different types of substances such as alcohols, esters, esters, chloroform, Ardoane, benzene, acetates, etc. Choosing the right solvent depends on the type of pigment and the needs of the production process on different materials. For example, in blue colors, the yellow color can be dissolved using a blue solvent. While in oil paints, solvents such as oils or esters are used to dissolve the pigment. In any case, choosing the right solvent is very important because these substances can have a direct effect on the color, stability and other properties of the final product.
