Vibrant and Durable Organic Pigments for Plastics and Coatings

Explore high-performance organic pigments like Phthalocyanine Blue and Green, Azo, and Fluorescent pigments. Learn about their stabilization, dispersion, and durability.

Organic pigments provide vibrant color, durability, and chemical resistance in plastics, coatings, inks, and textiles. Chem Horizons supplies export-ready organic pigment powders and pigment pastes for industrial buyers.

Organic pigments overview

Unlike mineral-based inorganic pigments, organic pigments use complex carbon structures that enable brighter hues and high tinting strength. Proper selection depends on Color Index, heat history, and weatherability needs.

Phthalocyanine pigments

Phthalocyanine Blue (Pigment Blue 15) and Phthalocyanine Green (Pigment Green 7) are industry standards for blue and green shades. They offer outstanding lightfastness, weather resistance, and heat stability — including plastics compounding where thermal stability protects shade during extrusion.

Dispersion and stabilization

Maximum color strength and gloss require breaking agglomerates into primary particles and stabilizing them with wetting/dispersing additives. Poor dispersion causes color shift, gloss loss, and mechanical weak points.
