Ultramarine is the most commonly used blue earth pigment. It is a kind of sulphur compound of aluminous silicate, which has a crystal structure associated with celestite. So it has very bright light and pure color.
Ultramarine Blue occupies a unique position in the blue color space that can not be reached by any other pigment or blend of pigments. The reddish undertone of Ultramarine Blue, highly appreciated both in mass tone and tint applications, makes the pigment clearly differentiated from any Blue Phthalocyanine and any Cobalt Blue, even if they are in combination with organic violet pigments as P.V.23 or P.V.19.
Ultramarine is the most suitable powdered coating. The results of a ntiweatherability in many applications show ultramarine is very good in the powdered coating.
Advantages
Very Good Heat Resistance
Excellent Fastness to Light
NO Migratory
Easily Scatter
Safety and Innocuous
Application Scope
1. Pigmentation: Used for paint,printing ink,spray,rubber,plastics,art pigment and cosmetics, etc..
2. Whiten: Ultramarine can remove the yellow light in the white products.
3. Color modulation: Add ultramarine in black or gray can make the color softer.
4. Other: Ultramarine can be used as the antioxygen for the perfluoro-resin, the catalyst for hydrodesulfurization, and be used to adsorb uranium from the sea water etc..
5. The PVC can be used to: the occasions need migratory resistance, acid fastness, easily scatter, and steady quality.
*Transparent (hard/soft) PVC6.6. calendered film
*Transparent and hard PVC oil bottle
*PVC profiled material for doors and windows
*PVC tubular film (shrink film)
*Transparent PVC soft tube/shoe
6. The color fertile material grain/engineering plastic/polyolefin can be used to:
*The occasions need easily scatter, steady quality, good heat stability, lightfastness, and migratory resistance under low density .
*The color fertile material grain: can be used to the pigmentation of engineering plastic/polyolefin.
*Plastics metal alloy---
Used for the ABS/HIPS/PP of work tool (light beautiful color).
polyolefin: Many tones (such as: Pepsi-Cola blue), light beautiful color.
Application for ultramarine in Coating
The ultramarine products are widely used in the paint industry. The color is bright, pure and has a good fastness to light. It can show a good dispersivity and color. So, it is widely used to construction paint, decoration paint, and reflective enamel paint, etc..
Purpose for whiten and Powdered Coating
Ultramarine is widely used for whitening the raw material. The micro ultramarine pigment can availably remove the yellow in the material and make it whiter. Ultramarine is the most suitable powdered coating. The results of a ntiweatherability in many applications show ultramarine is very good in the powdered coating.
