Pigments for High Temperature Polymers

Pigments Specially Designed for Heat and Chemical Resistance

Man-working-sparks-fire-heatDesigned for demanding polymers, our pigments offer outstanding heat resistance and chemical stability in the production process. In addition, the pigments perform durably in the end application thanks to their good light fastness and low migration.

These features are combined with excellent processing and dispersibility properties, making them ideal for a wide range of highly demanding applications that require resistance to chemicals, heat and weather.

Orange for High Voltage Components

orange-power-cord

Orange indicates danger for high voltage components in electric vehicles and other applications. The actual shade of orange varies greatly, though, depending on the application and what part of the world it originates. It can be specified as RAL 2003 or Pantone Orange 1495 C or even change based on country preference.    

Electrical parts made from engineering plastics and high heat polymers need to fulfill demanding properties even under critical conditions, such as the heat aging stability, heat shock stability testing, among other rigorous standards.

When it comes to balancing polymer suitability, technical properties and electrical characteristics, we can help you by selecting the right colorants from the start.
