Ultramarine Blue
Ultramarine Blue is a vibrant and steadfast pigment. This versatile blue hue, produced through precise chemical processes, boasts exceptional color stability, resisting fading even in demanding industrial applications.
It is optimal for a wide range of applications that require a medium to high-performing Ultramarine Blue pigment such as Paints, Coatings, Plastics and Polymers, Cosmetics, Inks, Textiles,Ceramics, Construction Materials, Artistic and Craft Supplies.
It is highly resistant to HEAT (up to 350°C), LIGHT (lightfastness of 8 in HDPE) and Weather fastness, make it ideal for outdoor applications.
It is non-warping and non-shrinking, thus maintaining the dimensional stability of polyolefin. The new technology used in the final production step of provides excellent dispensability making it a perfect choice for fibres and thin film applications.
