2. Pigment Performance Classification and Properties
Pigments can be classified according to their performance into high-performance pigments, traditional pigments, and effect pigments. Effect pigments include metallic pigments, aluminum and copper powders, pearlescent pigments, fluorescent pigments, and luminescent pigments.
Inorganic pigments generally have better lightfastness, chemical resistance, and weather resistance than organic pigments, but their colors are not as vibrant, and their tinting strength is relatively low. Examples include iron oxide red and iron oxide yellow.
3. Major Commercial Pigments
Inorganic pigments include: titanium dioxide pigments, lithopone, iron oxide pigments, chromium-based pigments, cadmium-based pigments, and metal oxide mixed-phase pigments.
Organic pigments mainly include: azo pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, and high-performance organic pigments.
Inorganic pigments are the main category of pigments, accounting for 88% of China's total pigment production.
4. Main Types and Uses of Inorganic Pigments
Inorganic pigments are essential colorants in industries such as coatings, inks, rubber, plastics, ceramics, glass, enamel, building materials, and papermaking. They play an important role in developing the national economy, improving people's living standards, and beautifying the environment.
