Paints & Coatings

Pigments perform a fundamental function within a coating formulation. They are introduced to control the degree of opacity and color of the finish.

Paint pigments are growing in importance as the demand for environmentally compliant paint formulations increases. Present paint products, including water-based, high-solids, powder and radiation-cured coatings for example, carry no or low level of solvents. Furthermore, today's coatings must be designed to make little or no negative impact on the environment, and at the same time continue to meet the highest performance standards required by each industry.

Primary applications include general industrial and decorative paints, with all our products suitable for use in both solvent and water-borne finishes, thereby fulfilling the requirement of 'universality' which is becoming increasingly important within the paint industry.

Pigments bring color and life to anything you can imagine, such as Paints & Coatings. Here are some typical characteristics of the Mayacrom^® Pigment Line:
