Pigment Red 554

How is the color of mica powder formed?

Mica powder pigment is a new type of pigment,the main material is natural mica powder which is covered by metal oxides in the surface ,then through the light refraction, reflection and transmission to represent different colors.

What can mica powder be used for?

Mica powder pigment is non-toxic, high temperature and light resistance, also acid and alkali resistance,no electrical conductivity.It can be used in the paint, plastics, ink, leather, printing and dyeing, rubber, paper-making, cosmetics and other industries. Because of the pearl powder pigment the world is more colorful and beautiful.

Product features:

a more blue phase and the combination of the pigment, high color strength and excellent dispersibility, good transparency. Light fastness and thermal stability are also very good. sudaperm red 554 is recommended for polyolefin, PVC, PP, PS and ABS applications.

Light fastness: The fastness to light be determined on injection molded plastic swatches of approximately 2 mm thickness. Test swatches exposed in QUV and the visual rating given on 1 to 8 Blue Wool scale where 1 = ‘Poor’ and 8 = ‘Excellent’.

Weather fastness: The fastness to weather is determined on injection molded plastic swatches of approximately 2 mm thickness. Test swatches exposed in Xenon Arc for 1000 hrs and the visual rating given on 1 to 5 Grey scale where 1 = ‘Poor’ and 5 = ‘Excellent’.

Heat stability: The Heat stability indicated is the maximum temperature in ˚C at which a change of color (DE ≤ 3) occurs after a dwell time of 5 minutes in the barrel of an injection molding machine as per DIN EN 12877-1.

Oil absorption: The oil absorption was determined on the basis of EN ISO 787-5 and given in g linseed oil per 100 gm. pigment.

Bleeding fastness: The fastness to bleeding in PVC-P is determined on a colored PVC film in contact with a white-pigmented PVC film in an oven at 140˚C for 2 hrs and the visual rating given on 1 to 5 Grey scale where 1 = ‘Poor’ and 5 = ‘Excellent’.
