Package and Delivery

Advantages

Pigment Blue 15:2, an α – type phthalocyanine pigment, offers multiple advantages.

It showcases a vivid and intense blue shade with a red – light undertone, providing high color strength and chroma, which is visually appealing in various applications.

Its excellent lightfastness, often rated 7 – 8 on a scale of 1 – 8, ensures that the color remains stable and resists fading even when exposed to long – term sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor – facing products like architectural paints and automotive coatings.

With heat resistance up to 280 °C, it can withstand high – temperature processing in plastics, such as injection molding and extrusion, without color degradation, enabling its use in manufacturing durable plastic products.

It also has remarkable chemical resistance, being insoluble in water, ethanol, and most common solvents, and resistant to acids, alkalis, and various organic solvents.

This property allows it to maintain color integrity in harsh chemical environments and different types of coatings and inks.

Additionally, it has good dispersion properties in media like water, oil, and common binders used in paints, plastics, and inks, ensuring uniform color distribution and smooth finishes. Its anti – flocculation characteristics prevent pigment particles from clumping together, further enhancing its performance in formulations.
