Pigment Blue 15:3 for High-Quality Paint and Plastic Applications
Product Overview
Pigment Blue 15:3 is a premium-grade copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) pigment renowned for its exceptional color strength, lightfastness, and chemical stability in demanding industrial applications. As a β-phase polymorph of Pigment Blue 15, this advanced organic pigment delivers intense, clean blue hues with superior dispersion properties, making it indispensable for high-quality coatings, plastics, inks, and specialty formulations. With a particle size optimized for opacity and gloss (D50 ≤0.2 µm), Pigment Blue 15:3 achieves unmatched color consistency, UV resistance, and thermal stability (up to 280°C), meeting the stringent requirements of automotive, packaging, and consumer goods industries.
Manufactured via a proprietary micronization and surface treatment process, this pigment is free from heavy metals, APEOs, and harmful solvents, aligning with REACH, RoHS, and FDA 21 CFR standards. Its low VOC content, halogen-free profile, and compatibility with waterborne systems make it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious formulators seeking vibrant, long-lasting color solutions. Trusted by leading global brands, Pigment Blue 15:3 empowers manufacturers to achieve brilliant blues in exterior paints, engineering plastics, and food-contact packaging while reducing environmental impact.
Key Features & Advantages
Unrivaled Color Performance
- High Chroma & Tinctorial Strength: Delivers intense, pure blue shades (CIE Lab*: L* ≈30–35, b* ≈−40) with minimal dosage (0.5–3% in masterbatches).
- Excellent Lightfastness (8 on ISO 105-B02): Resists fading in outdoor applications, including automotive coatings and architectural paints.
- Thermal Stability (Up to 280°C): Suitable for high-temperature processing in polyolefins, nylon, and engineering plastics.
Superior Dispersion & Compatibility
- Ultra-Fine Particle Size (D50 ≤0.2 µm): Ensures smooth dispersion in solvent-based, waterborne, and UV-curable systems.
- Surface Modification (Resin-Stabilized): Reduces flocculation and improves compatibility with polyurethane, acrylic, and epoxy resins.
- Low Viscosity Impact: Maintains flow properties in high-gloss automotive clears and thin-film coatings.
Chemical & Environmental Resilience
- Acid/Alkali Resistance (pH 2–12): Ideal for industrial coatings exposed to harsh chemicals.
- Migration Resistance: Non-bleeding in PVC, polypropylene, and food-grade polymers (FDA compliance).
- Halogen-Free & Non-Toxic: Safe for toys, cosmetics, and food-contact applications.
Sustainability & Regulatory Compliance
- REACH, RoHS, and ECO PASSPORT Certified: Free from SVHCs (Substances of Very High Concern).
- Eco-Friendly Production: Closed-loop synthesis with 90% solvent recovery and zero wastewater discharge.
- Carbon-Neutral Options: Available via renewable energy credits and reforestation partnerships.
Applications
Pigment Blue 15:3 excels in applications requiring vibrant, durable color and environmental compliance:
1. Paints & Coatings
- Automotive Finishes: High-gloss metallic basecoats, UV-curable clears, and self-healing topcoats.
- Architectural Paints: Exterior wall coatings, roof paints, and anti-graffiti systems with 15+ years weatherability.
- Industrial Coatings: Chemical-resistant tank linings, marine hull coatings, and aerospace primers.
2. Plastics & Polymers
- Injection-Molded Parts: Automotive trims, appliance housings, and consumer electronics (PP, ABS, PC/ABS blends).
- Packaging Films: BOPP, PET, and PE films for food, pharmaceutical, and luxury goods.
- Engineering Plastics: Reinforced nylon, PBT, and PEEK for connectors, gears, and bearings.
3. Specialty Applications
- Printing Inks: Offset, flexographic, and gravure inks for high-resolution packaging and labels.
- Textiles: Spin-dyeing for synthetic fibers (polyester, nylon) with wash-fast color.
- Cosmetics: FDA-approved use in nail polishes, hair dyes, and decorative makeup.
