The pigments used to color plastics should meet various precise technical requirements. Iron oxide-based inorganic and green chrome oxide of the COLORTHERM® line pigments meet such requirements, and therefore play an important role in this sector.

Inorganic pigments resistant to high temperature.

Considering the limited work time and the processing equipments’ relatively low cutting power, the pigments used for coloring plastics must have the following characteristics:

  • Excellent dispersion capacity;
  • High thermal stability;
  • Resistance to light and to bad weather conditions;
  • Non-migration to the surface.
