PENTACOLOR - Pigments with easy dispersion
PENTACOLOR
TREATED MINERAL PIGMENTS WITH EASY DISPERSION
We developed our PENTACOLOR products based on a market analysis and on several information from customers belonging to different areas.
What PENTACOLOR are. They normally are metallic oxides with colouring ability that we treated on the particles’ surface with a completely new and efficient system.
Through our PENTACOLOR products we tried to answer to many usual questions coming from usual users. These questions are:
- they have to be easily dispersible both in water and in solvent
- they must have a higher colouring power
- they have to be more stable to light
- they must be more easily miscible together
- they have to allow obtaining brighter shades
Summarizing they have to satisfy in a more concrete way all the above mentioned requirements so reducing the lacks of many inorganic products and of most of organic products.
Based on the tests we performed in many cement based mixtures, in water paints, in solvent based enamels, in printing inks (ink-jet), in plastic materials, we can assert that PENTACOLOR fully comply all the customers’ requests. Their particular surface treatment makes PENTACOLOR suitable for many and many different applications where standard oxides can not absolutely be used.
Starting from the first three colours used for the industrial test with our customers, we are actually able to offer a range of colours sufficient to cover most of the shades needed on the market.
The available colours are:
- White
- Red
- Yellow
- Orange
- Green
- Blue
- Brown
- Black
