Organic pigments

Organic pigments usually provide the broadest possible coverage of the color
space – from vivid opaque or transparent mass tones to reduced tint shades.
When used in demanding engineering plastics or diluted for pastel shades,
organic pigments may exhibit limitations in performance with regards to
processing efficiency or fastness to light or weathering.

Inorganic pigments

The perfect complement to organic pigments, inorganic pigments do offer very

robust processing performance even for highly demanding engineering plastics
or for warping sensitive applications. Also, as base components or as shading
partners, they ensure ultimate durability for most end-uses.

Key portfolio

Product Color shade Chemical type Key properties

These inorganic, mixed-phase pigments have outstanding

fastness to heat, light, weather, chemicals, and solvents –
Sicotan® Yellow – Brown CICP (Ni, Cr Titanate) even in very low concentrations. Their exceptionally high
heat and chemical resistance makes them suitable for
almost all polymer types
Yellow Bismuth Vanadate
These inorganic pigments, with their spinel structure, are
Orange Sn-titanate based on various metal oxides. All have outstanding fastness
Sicopal®
Blue – Green Cobalt pigments to light and weather, and most of them achieve the highest
heat resistance
