Organic vs Inorganic Pigments

Image
Ink is the primary ingredient of many designs and printings around us. Without it, printing and packaging would not be possible. Pigments give color to the ink. The pigments are primarily of two types: organic pigments and inorganic pigments. These pigments are also used for the coloring process as textile pigment emulsions. Pigments absorb and reflect a certain wavelength of light which gives them their color. What Are Inorganic Pigments? Inorganic pigments are made up of minerals and salts and are based on oxide, sulfate, sulfide, carbonate, and other such combinations. They are highly insoluble and opaque. Their demand is very high in the industrial sector owing to their low cost. First, very simple experiments are conducted to produce inorganic pigments, which increase its cost-effectiveness. Secondly, they do not fade quickly on exposure to light, making them a very good coloring agent for industrial purposes. Examples of Inorganic Pigments: Titanium Oxide: This pigment is opaque ...

What are advantages or benefits of WPC ( Wood Plastic Composite )

Image
   For WPC products manufacturers in India, this market presents a unique opportunity as this is an ideal time to create awareness about the benefits of using WPCs and gaining a significant competitive edge through a first-mover advantage.   What are the benefits of using WPCs and why are they so popular in the West? Let’s find out: A.) Water Resistance qualities: Image Credit:  Meghmani Wood and plywood are not resistant to water and often fail when in contact. On the other hand,  wood-plastic composites  are resistant to water, making them a lot more desirable, especially for use in potentially wet areas like bathrooms and cleaning rooms. B.) Wide Range of Applications: Image Credit:  Meghmani WPCs, due to their durable nature and competitive pricing, are applicable to a wide range of scenarios, especially for interior designing applications like fall ceilings, deck flooring, wooden flooring, shoe racks, to name a few. WPC board manufacturers are agg...

Cost-Reduction Methods for the Food Packaging Industry

Image
    Packed food items have already taken over households of western countries. People are on developing countries are also moving towards packed food items with more people getting employed in offices and corporate world. This reduces the time available to them to cook food by themselves. Hence, people move to ready to eat food items for convenience and to save time. This shift of people has given a boost to the food packaging industry. With increasing demand from the food industry, global food packaging market has grown to USD 277.9 billion by the year 2017.  Food packaging companies   are working towards increasing shelf life, high barrier properties and safety. The steps that the industry is taking to improve on these aspects and also striving to reduce the cost of packaging. The methods that the  food packaging industry  is adapting to reduce the cost are as follows, 1. Switching from tape to glue for RSC packaging:  Glue can be used in place of ta...

optical brightening agent manufacturers in India

Image
  Optical brightening agents (OBAs), also known as fluorescent brightening agents (FBAs), or fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs) are chemical compounds that give a whitening effect to the fabric. They do this by absorbing light in the ultraviolet and violet region and re-emit the light in the blue region. Fluorescent activity is a short-term or rapid emission response, unlike phosphorescence, which is a delayed emission. This blue light reduces the yellow color of the substrate and gives a bright look. At Meghmani, you will find the ideal and quality Optical Whitening Agents. Being one of the leading optical brightening agent manufacturers and suppliers, we ensure delivering only the best products. OPTICAL BRIGHTENERS FOR DETERGENTS Optical brighteners are synthetic chemical compounds that markups the yellowness and provide brightness to fabrics. This is the reason that Optical brighteners are used as laundry detergents. As time passes, Clothes lose their natural whiteness over tim...

What are the different types of pigments?

Image
    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 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, pigments are used in industries such as colouring paints, inks, cosmetics, and plastics. Types of Pigments ORGANIC PIGMENTS: This type of pigments occurs naturally and they’ve been used for centuries. They’re quite simple in their chemical structure. They’re n...

Advantages and Disadvantages of Reactive Dyes | Dye Manufacturers In India

Image
    What is Reactive Dyes? One of the most important components of the textile industry and many others, dyes are compounds that have the ability to adhere to any fabric leading to it being coloured. There are a wide range of qualities as well as variants of dyes that are available in the market that manufacturers produce but the most preferred by users are those that colour fabric at the soonest while being chemically stable. The two most important factors that qualitatively reflect any dye are temperature and time. The consumption of dyes is an important indicator when it comes to understanding the economic growth of a society. In developing economies like India and China, the consumption of dyes is on a rapid rise owing to increased development work, urbanization as well as expanding demographics. A recent report estimated the demand for  dyes in India  estimated consumption of 2,00,000 Million Tonnes in the year 2017. With the expected revenue in the dyes market ...
