Pigments are used as coloring agents in the production of many types of
plastics. Unfortunately, many of today's popular pigments contain
heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, chromium, or cobalt. Due to worldwide environmental awareness and stricter legislation to reduce or eliminate heavy metal-based colorants, the demand for environmentally friendly pigments that have high-performance properties in plastics continues to increase. The MayaCrom Pigment Line satisfies these unmet market needs for bright colors that have high temperature
stability in plastics. They are high-performance pigments that are suitable for use in the most challenging plastics, including Polypropylene (PP), Nylon 6,6, and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). For use in coloring industrial plastics and resins, the MayaCrom Pigment Line exhibits many competitive advantages over other colors. Here are but a few:
-
Shrinkage — Polypropylene (PP) containing the MayaCrom Pigments showed minimal shrinkage.
Chemical Interaction — Colors are available that are stable in nylons.
Brittleness — Addition of the MayaCrom Pigment Line to fiberglass-reinforced Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) does not cause brittleness.
