The Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer provides many advantages and immediate quality improvements in a coatings laboratory. Virtually any material (liquid or solid) can be chemically characterized using this technique.

In this article, various methods are used to investigate why nitrate red pigments from the Ningbo Process display special color characteristics and how the electronic structure has an influence on these color effects.

To overcome the drawbacks of powdered carbon blacks, Orion Engineered Carbons is developing carbon black-based pigment preparations that facilitate, and in many cases eliminate, the dispersion step.

After 15 years of development and countless hours of collaboration across a number of experts, this group of researchers was finally able to crack the code on structural color to develop "omnidirectional" structural color that does not change when viewed from different angles.

Bayferrox® inorganic pigments from global specialty chemicals company LANXESS brought color to the Hydro-Québec Montréal ePrix that took place July 29 and 30, 2017 in Montréal, Canada.

The incorporation of metallic and pearlescent pigments is a proven method to generate interest and improve viewer perception of powder coatings. Effect pigments convey a message of premium product finish with the visual association conveyed to the coated parts or products.

Without the existence of specialized rods and cones inside the human eye, the world around us would be a much duller place. Without color, a key component of our visible experience would be lost and entire industries would be flushed away or dramatically altered, including interior and graphic design, clothing retail, advertising and especially the manufacturing of paints and coatings.

The high-quality carbon blacks that this innovative technology harvests from end-of-life tires can replace traditional furnace-grade product and can be reused in the production of new tires, rubber, plastics, ink and paints.
