Things You Need to Know about Pigments

Jun. 15, 2022

What are pigments?

A pigment is a material that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light due to wavelength selective absorption. In other words, it is a substance that has a specific color because it selectively absorbs light of a specific wavelength.

 

The main purpose of using pigments is to provide color to a material, whether it is a textile or a paint. Some people usually think that pigments and dyes are the same, but they are completely different. The main difference between the two is their solubility.

 

Dyes themselves can be dissolved in liquids, while pigments can be dissolved in liquids with the help of binders. Dyes are mainly used in the textile and paper industries, while pigments are used in coloring paints, inks, cosmetics and plastics.

2-aminophenol is also known as ortho amino phenol, O-aminophenol, OAP, etc.

2-aminophenol is an organic compound, the chemical formula is C6H4(OH)NH2, the common name is o-aminophenol, it is a kind of white or light gray crystalline powder. It is one of the isomers of aminophenol and the other two isomers are 3-aminophenol and 4-aminophenol.

 

Types of pigments

Pigments can be divided into two types according to their method of preparation: inorganic and organic pigments.

 

Organic pigments.

This type of pigment is naturally occurring and has been used for many centuries. They have a very simple chemical structure. They are called organic because they contain the minerals and metals that give them their color. Organic pigment manufacturers produce them through a simple process that consists of washing, drying, powdering and combining them into formulations.

 

These pigments are used less frequently than inorganic pigments, which is why the number of suppliers of organic pigments is limited. These pigments can be used when the desired color intensity is not too high.

 

Inorganic pigments.

As your name might guess, this type of pigment is the exact opposite of organic pigments. These pigments are also known as "synthetic pigments". They are formulated in the laboratory and offer a wide range of control for inorganic pigment manufacturers. Inorganic pigments are produced by relatively simple chemical processes, such as oxidation.

 

Suppliers of inorganic pigments supply these pigments primarily to the paint, plastics, synthetic fiber and ink industries. Organic pigments are used to enhance color intensity in applications that require vibrant colors. Inorganic pigments include white opaque pigments, which are often used to lighten other colors and also provide opacity.

 

Two other types of pigments are metallic pigments and industrial pigments.

As the name implies, metallic pigments include metallic pigments such as zinc and aluminum pigments. Industrial pigments are pigments that are widely used in industrial applications and include organic, inorganic and metallic pigments.
