Ultramarine pigments are the ideal choice for a wide variety of paint systems and powder coatings, catering to both industrial and household needs.
With excellent dispersibility, superior lightfastness, and outstanding heat stability, ultramarine pigments are a reliable option in stoving paints. They are perfectly compatible with water-based systems, making them great for vibrant blues or subtle white colour corrections.
In clear resins, ultramarine's transparency makes it an excellent choice for clear lacquers over polished metals, aluminum flakes, and pearlescent base coats. It can also be opacified easily by adding up to 5% titanium dioxide.
In powder coatings, ultramarine combines unmatched reliability with 100% safety, making it an excellent choice for exterior applications where durability and gloss retention are crucial.
Ultramarine AZ5000 Range for Special Effect Coatings
High Transparency & Strength
Ultramarine pigments offer high transparency, as their refractive index of 1.5 closely matches that of the binder systems they are used in. The Ultramarine AZ5000 series provides outstanding colouring strength, delivering dye-like transparency with the permanence of a pigment.
A Unique Shade
Ultramarine blue offers a highly saturated red-shade blue that is unmatched by any other pigment combination. Its high transparency, distinctive hue, and neutral undertone make the Ultramarine AZ5000 series perfect for applications requiring unique colours and special effects. When blended with metallic pigments or pearlescents, or coated over polished metallic substrates, it achieves stunning finishes on products like bicycles, motorcycles, metal casings, electrical appliances, and mobile phones.
Easy Dispersibility
The Ultramarine AZ5000 series is an inorganic pigment designed for effortless incorporation into dispersions, typically at a loading level of over 40%. It works well in both water-based and solvent-based coatings and disperses easily with just a single pass through a high-speed dispersing mill. Traditional dispersing aids can also be used to deflocculate and stabilize formulations. Our expert technical team is ready to assist with all aspects of formulation for this distinctive and innovative product.
