From textiles and plastics to coatings and printing, pigments have a significant role in the industries. Pigments give color to products and improve their aesthetics; durability; and functionality. Industrial pigments generally have brilliant color retention, stability, and resistance to environmental factors. At Meghmani Global , we offer a wide range of organic and inorganic pigments tailored to meet industrial demands. Types of Industrial Pigments Broadly, industrial pigments are classified into two: organic and inorganic pigments. Each category has its own particular properties and advantages. 1. Organic Pigments Organic pigments are such compounds which are carbon-based and are characterized by their brilliant colors, excellent tinting strength, and eco-friendliness. They have extensive applications in industries requiring output of bright and excellent quality colors. Common types of organic pigments include: Azo Pigments : They are found in shades of red, yellow, and orange an...

Most people have wondered how the sheets of paper acquire their beautiful colors or why certain sheets are glossy and vibrant, while others look so plain. The answer lies in the magic of dyes and pigments . These colorants are the heart of the paper industry, making sure that everything from packaging and books to decorative and specialty papers looks exactly how it’s supposed to. Let’s take a closer look at why they matter so much and how they make a difference. What Exactly are Dyes and Pigments? Dyes are like a liquid that seeps into the fibers of the paper. Because they are soluble, they spread evenly, creating bright, bold, and consistent colors. Imagine some highly colored pages of magazines or colored wrapping papers; those often use dyes. Examples of such dyes are acid dyes, direct dyes, and reactive dyes. Pigments , on the other hand, are tiny particles that coat the surface of the paper. They are not soluble, so they sit on top and create a layer of color. Pigments are idea...

  The primary application of Dyes and pigments is to provide color to materials, whether they are textiles or paints. While dyes are soluble in mediums like water, pigments must be converted to a coarser powder after which it is mixed with a dispersing agent before application. The difference between the nature of dyes and pigments leads to vastly different uses. On one hand, dyes are mainly used in the textile and paper market whereas pigments find applications in industries like coloring paints, inks, cosmetics, and plastics. While the application of both dyes and pigments is to give colors to materials, both of them differ widely in terms of the materials they can be applied to as well as the way they function. Dyes can be used with a dye solution (dyes dissolved in water) as well as directly, depending on the chemical composition of the dye and the material being dyed. Thus, it is an important part of any dyeing process is to find a material onto which the dye can attach itself...

  What is Pigment? A pigment is a material that changes the colour of reflected or transmitted light as the result of wavelength-selective absorption. In other words, it’s a substance that appears a certain colour because it selectively absorbs a certain wavelength of light. The primary purpose to use pigments is to provide colour to materials, whether they are textiles or paints. Some people often consider pigments and dyes to be the same but they’re quite different. The major difference between the both is in terms of their solubility. While a dye can dissolve by itself in a liquid, pigments can be dissolved in a liquid with the help of a binder. Dyes are primarily applied in the textile and paper industry, and pigments are used in industries such as colouring paints, inks, cosmetics, and plastics. Types of Pigments Based on the method of their formulation, pigments can be categorized into two types: inorganic pigments and organic pigments. ORGANIC PIGMENTS: This type of pigment ...
