Our High-Temperature Pigment ranges are ideally suited for a wide range of high temperature applications, including plastics, powder coatings, high-bake temperature industrial coatings, coil coatings, specialty coatings and military coatings, where high heat-fastness is required.
CathayTherm™ offers increased heat stability in a range of colours.
The CathayTherm line features excellent dispersion characteristic. As with all inorganic pigments, non-migration makes them suitable for plastics and rubbers.
The Mapico® Tan series is most commonly used in plastics. High temperature stability and ease of dispersion make these pigments suitable for resin systems from LLDPE and vinyl to sophisticated engineering polymers and silicone rubber compounds. Exterior durability is improved by the ultraviolet screening properties contributed by these pigments, especially with polymers that are sensitive to sunlight.
The Mapico® Tan series of heat stable pigments are inert, insoluble in organic materials as well as resistant against chemicals, alkali and dilute acids.
