PENTACOLOR – EASY DISPERSION PIGMENTS
MINERAL PIGMENTS TREATED FOR EASY DISPERSION
From a market analysis and information collected from customers in very different sectors we have developed PENTACOLOR.
What are PENTACOLORS. They are normally metal oxides with coloring capabilities which at Pentachem we have treated superficially with an absolutely innovative and effective system.
With PENTACOLOR we wanted to respond to the most frequent requests posed to us by regular users, namely:
1. they must be easily dispersible in both water and solvent
2. they must be more opaque
3. They must be stable in light
4. they must be more easily miscible with each other
5. they must allow brighter shades, etc.
In essence they must respond in a more concrete way to all the above needs by reducing the deficiencies of many inorganic products and the majority of organic ones.
In light of the tests carried out on cement mixtures, water-based paints, solvent-based enamels, printing inks (ink-jet), plastics, we can say that PENTACOLOR fully meets customer expectations. The particular surface treatment makes PENTACOLOR usable in the most disparate applications where normal oxides absolutely cannot be used.
From the three initial colors that were used for industrial tests with customers that became available, today we are able to offer a range of colors sufficient to cover most of the shades required by the market.
The available colors are:
- White
- Red
- Yellow
- Orange
- Green
- Blue
- Brown
- Black
What are the advantages offered by PENTACOLOR. In addition to the versatility described and the expansion of the fields of use, they allow:
1. Rapid dispersion both in the dry state, both in aqueous dispersions and in solvent.
2. Greater coverage at the same dosage
3. Obtaining stable shades
4. Replacement of many organic pigments
5. Excellent stability to light and UV rays.
6. Excellent stability in alkaline mixtures
7. Lower operating costs
8. Easy handling as they are free from pollution
9. They can be dispersed in water for use in tinting machines
