Abstract:

Bright colours that set trends with differentiated products without any harmful effects on health and environment are a challenge to all coatings producers. The issue is the intensity of yellow, orange and red colors, particularly when formulating exterior architectural coatings. This paper will introduce innovative and eco-friendly yellow and orange inorganic pigments, with proven chemistry, that extend the color space and make bright, high performance shades possible. These pigments are an environmentally acceptable alternative to lead, cadmium or chromium containing pigments.
