Pigment paste naming and classification

Pigment paste naming and classification

Pigment paste -is originally used as a coloring raw materials for coatings. Now it is widely used for coloring in different areas, and the names of pigment paste are more and more.

Many pigment color paste users like to look for pigment paste according to their application areas;
Many pigment paste factories name the pigment color paste based on the raw materials and system performance;

Scientific research people would like to rename the color paste depending on the suitable paint binders.
The development and application of pigment color paste is going to more industries, pigment paste has much more names in these years. As we know, the following five naming methods are more prominent:
First, pigment paste is classified based on raw materials property: pigment color paste, inorganic pigment paste, organic pigment paste, water-based pigment paste, oil based pigment paste, carbon black pigment paste, titanium white color paste, iron red pigment paste and etc.
Second, it is classified according to the characteristics: generic pigment paste, liquid pigment paste, high concentrated pigment paste, super concentrated color paste, high gloss pigment paste, thermochromic pigment paste, transparent color paste, high covering pigment paste, nano pigment paste, red color paste, black color paste and etc.
Third, it is named according to the functions, is also the most extensive way of naming pigment color dispersion: pigment paste, interior or exterior wall pigment paste, building color paste, ink pigment paste , epoxy pigment color paste, machine pigment paste, UV pigment paste, acrylic pigment paste, PVC coloring paste, silica gel color paste, unsaturated resin pigment dispersion and etc.
Fourth, pigment dispersion is classified based on the procurement channels or product brand name, is also more common, such as: imported pigment paste, domestic pigment dispersion, Namei pigment paste, sun chemical pigment dispersion etc.
Fifth, according to the environmental features, they can named as: eco-friendly pigment paste, halogen-free color paste, zero formaldehyde pigment paste and etc.

Pigment paste is a pre-dispersion pigment preparation which can be used for multi-industry. Such as Coating, Inks, Textile printing, latex, PVC, PU, Paper, Pesticides, Seed coloring etc. Due to the developing of coloring requirement and downstream industry, the pigment paste types will increase more and more. It is an opportunity and is also a challenge to us.

Pre-Dispersed Pigment Paste Trends

The pre-dispersed pigment market is experiencing robust growth, driven by several key trends. The increasing demand for high-quality coatings, inks, and plastics in various end-use industries is a primary driver. The shift towards sustainable manufacturing practices is also influencing the market, leading to greater demand for environmentally friendly pigments with reduced VOC emissions and the absence of heavy metals. Advancements in pigment dispersion technology are enhancing color strength and application ease, furthering market growth. Furthermore, the rise of innovative applications, such as in high-performance coatings and specialized plastics, contributes to market expansion. The growing adoption of digital printing techniques and the increased demand for customized colors are also notable trends. Finally, the rise of new industrial markets, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies, opens further opportunities for pre-dispersed pigment manufacturers. These trends collectively point towards a sustained period of growth for the market, projected to reach over $7 billion by 2030. The increasing use of pre-dispersed pigments in specialized applications, such as automotive coatings, aerospace components, and medical devices, is also driving market growth. Furthermore, the development of novel pigment formulations with enhanced properties, such as improved light fastness and weather ability, will continue to fuel market expansion.
