FAQ

Q1: What are organic pigments?
A: Organic pigments are synthetic, carbon-based molecules used to impart color to a wide variety of materials. Unlike dyes, they are typically insoluble in the application medium (e.g., plastic, paint, ink) and remain dispersed as fine solid particles, providing color through selective light absorption and scattering.

Q2: How are organic pigments different from inorganic pigments?
A: The key differences are in their chemical composition and properties:
 

 

 

Feature	Organic Pigments	Inorganic Pigments
Chemistry	Carbon-based (complex organic molecules)	Metal oxides, sulfides, etc. (e.g., Iron Oxide, Titanium Dioxide)
Color Strength	High	Lower
Brightness	Vibrant, brilliant shades	Often duller, earthy tones
Opacity/Transparency	Often more transparent	Typically more opaque
Lightfastness	Varies (some excellent, some poor)	Generally excellent
Heat Resistance	Varies (can be lower)	Generally very high

Q3: What are the main applications of organic pigments?
A: Organic pigments are essential in many industries, including:

• Printing: Inkjet inks, packaging gravure, and flexographic inks.

• Coatings: Automotive paints, industrial coatings, and powder coatings.

• Plastics: Coloring of PVC, PO, PP, ABS, and other polymers.

• Textiles: Mass coloration of man-made fibers.

• Specialties: Cosmetics, artist colors, and food packaging.

Q4: What does "lightfastness" and "weatherfastness" mean?
A:

• Lightfastness is a pigment's resistance to fading or changing color when exposed to sunlight (UV light). It's rated on a scale from 1 (excellent) to 8 (poor).

• Weatherfastness is a broader measure of resistance to outdoor weathering, including sunlight, rain, humidity, and temperature changes.

Q5: What is the importance of heat stability in pigments?
A: Heat stability is critical for applications like plastics and coatings, where the material is processed at high temperatures (e.g., during injection molding or baking). A pigment with low heat resistance will degrade, causing color shift or loss of properties.

Q6: Are your organic pigments compliant with international regulations?
A: Yes. Our pigments are manufactured to comply with key international standards for safety and environmental protection. This includes:

• Reach (EU): Registered and compliant for listed substances.

• FDA (USA): Certain grades are approved for food contact applications (plastics and inks) under specific regulations.

• APEO-Free, Heavy Metals Restrictions: Compliant with limits on heavy metals and other harmful substances.

Q7: What packaging options do you offer?
A: We offer a range of packaging options to suit your needs and ensure product integrity:

• Standard: 25 kg paper or plastic-lined bags, cartons, or fiber drums.

• Customizable: We can offer smaller quantities (e.g., 5kg, 10kg) or bulk options (e.g., 500kg pallets) upon request.

Q8: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our standard MOQ is typically 1 pallet or 500 kg. However, we can accommodate smaller trial orders for new customers to evaluate product quality. Please contact our sales team for specific details.

Q9: Can you provide custom color matching or develop specific formulations?
A: Absolutely. We have a dedicated technical laboratory capable of custom color matching to your specific samples and developing formulations tailored to your application (e.g., specific plastic resin or ink system). Contact us with your requirements.

Q10: How do I request a sample?
A: Sample requests are welcome. Please use the contact form on our website or directly email our sales team with your company details, intended application, and the product name(s) you are interested in. We will process your request promptly.
