Pigments are an
integral part of human illumination. We are all surrounded by pigments in every area of life. Whether it's the
clothes we wear, the food we eat, the cosmetics we use, the paint we do in our
homes, the books or magazines we read, the computers we work on and the list is
endless where pigments show their presence to add color and the brightness of
our lives. The pigment category can be natural, synthetic, organic, and
inorganic and so on, but the presence of pigments is a must.
Extensive Pigment Classification!
Pigments can be
present in the form of pigment powder, aqueous or gel-based conditions. In the
formation of paint, mainly two types of pigments are considered. This is
Primary Pigment: Primary
pigment is the main pigment that is responsible for giving color to the paint.
Although high-quality primary pigments are expensive but it is recommended to
prefer quality rather than being persuaded by cheap goods. High-quality pigments produce uniform color, the right
grain for better pigment dispersion and you don't need to apply it more than
twice to get the desired results.
Extender Pigment: This
pigment is mainly used as an addition but plays an important role in color
intensity, hiding power, life expectancy and resistance to paint cleaning.
Organic and inorganic pigments!
You will find
various primary pigments, organic and inorganic pigments extenders on the market. Each variety
has a series of pros and cons. If we put ourselves in the task of comparing two
varieties, we can conclude the results in the following ways:
Color Effectiveness
It has been
observed that organic pigments not only offer brighter colors than inorganic
ones but their coloring strength is also much better than inorganic
counterparts. These characteristics provide a brownish point in organic
pigments compared to inorganic pigments.
Environmental Friendliness
The second
important point that must be considered in the modern age of global warming and
other environmental hazards is the environmental security of pigments. It has
been seen that organic pigments are
far safer to use and environmentally friendly than inorganic pigments. They do
not pose a potential threat to the environment.
Light Fastness
Inorganic pigments defeat
organic counterparts in terms of light resistance. High resistance to light
makes it the preferred paint choice. Low light resistance is one of the main
weaknesses that scientists are trying to overcome in organic pigments.
Pigment Price
The cost of making
the inorganic pigment is far cheaper
than organic pigments. Expensive organic pigments are favored by those who want
to be green and are able to bear high production costs.
With the
development of science and technology, scientists consistently work to produce
organic pigments with high performance and efficiency. They have also achieved
much success in mass production of organic pigments and reduced production
costs. The industrial sector is shifting to the organic pigment sector and over
time and development we will see major changes.
