The LOM Yellows
LANXESS’ yellow iron oxide of the Bayferrox® LOM line were developed in Brazil and their quality is recognized by local and international consumers. The LOM abbreviation represents the main advantages of those yellows:LO (Low Oil Absorption) | M (Micronized) | |
| Indicates the low oil absorption, which allows the lower consumption of additives, such as moisturizing, leveling or drying agents. Normal Yellow: Absorbs 40g of oil for each 100g of pigment. LOM yellow: Absorbs 24g of oil for each 100g of pigment. | Because it is micronized, it ensures an excellent dispersion capacity, which results in better thickness (Hegman>6,5) and lower consumption of energy for the paint’s production process. |
The main advantages of these products are the following:
- Low viscosity in its formulas, which favors the high concentration of pigments and enhances the shine and coloring power;
- Stability and suitability in watery and solvent systems, as well as in organic and non-organic compounds;
- High coating power and opacity;
- High level (8) of resistance to light;
- Resistance to bad weather;
- Low concentration of residues ;
- Reduction of the formation of lumps;
- Density that allows smaller packages and storage areas.
