Introduction

This pigment finds wide use in packaging printing (nitrocellulose and polyamide inks, EVA/PE copolymer binders), in polyolefin coloration for high-temperature extrusion, and in PVC film and masterbatch applications for cable insulation. Its excellent dispersibility in vinyl acetate systems and robust thermal resistance make it suitable for coatings, printing and textile pulp coloration too.
