High Performance Pigments Exhibit Excellent Persistence Properties and Are Resistant To Several External Elements
High-performance pigments have a variety of advantages over their conventional counterparts. Their longer operational life, lower toxicity, and reduced migration make them essential in a wide variety of applications. For example, they are ideal for use in exterior coatings for buildings and automotive vehicles. They are also a great choice for photochromatic applications. These characteristics make them a preferred choice for manufacturers of paints and other products that need to resist sunlight and other environmental conditions.
Changing
customer preferences and stringent regulatory frameworks are fueling increased
demand for high-performance pigments. Furthermore, growing customer preference
for bio-based products has led industry participants to introduce bio-based
high-performance pigments. As a result, high-performance pigments are expected
to enjoy steady growth over the coming years.
Another
critical application for High-Performance Pigments is
automotive adhesives. Automotive adhesives have become more expensive and
require higher performance levels than their conventional counterparts. As an
industry, the automotive coatings industry has implemented several strategic
initiatives to increase the profitability of its products. However, the price
disparity is expected to remain a major challenge as the cost of raw materials
rises.
In
regions such as the United States, the increasing incidence of chemical
companies has increased the production of high-performance pigments. For
instance, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, there
are over 9000 chemical companies in the United States. High-performance
pigments are expected to continue their upward trend, with increased use in
packaging, outdoor signage, and other applications. However, the costs of these
pigments are rising due to their improved properties. Furthermore, they are
more expensive per unit weight. However, their properties make them a valuable
choice for consumers.
After
synthesis, the high-performance pigments are subject to further processing.
This may involve chemical or mechanical processes to increase or decrease its
particle size. The size of the pigment has a significant impact on its end-use
properties, including its hiding power, tint strength, and ease of dispersion.
Further, the particle size of a pigment is also a factor that can make or break
its application in various applications.
