Key Features

• Low-viscosity pigment pastes suitable for precise dosing via automated machinery, minimizing pigment usage while maximizing color intensity.

• Phthalate-free compositions aligned with international safety (EU REACH) norms—ideal for footwear, children's products, and sensitive applications.

• UV-resistant, non-yellowing white pigments, ensuring long-lasting clarity and outdoor performance.

• Melamine-based functional pastes available for flame retardancy and acoustic-enhanced PU—useful in specialty construction, insulation, and automotive use.

• Deep-jet black and vivid color options, tailored for aesthetic, industrial, and marine PU products.

• Reactive, polyol-compatible carrier—ensures pigments fully integrate into PU matrix without affecting physical properties.

• Finely dispersed pigment to avoid settling, fogging, and color voids—with excellent batch-to-batch consistency.

• Non-fading, heat- and light-stable formulations offering long-term color retention even under harsh usage or exposure.
  
  

Technical Parameters

• Highly compatible with both polyether and polyester polyol systems—ensures seamless integration into established PU formulations.

• Recommended pigment loading: Typically 1.0–1.5 wt%, depending on color depth and system density.

• Form: Homogenous paste or liquid dispersion with controlled viscosity optimized for blending and dosing.

• Vehicle/reactivity: Polyol-based carrier that fully reacts into the PU matrix—no residual binder or migration.

• Color consistency: Precision matched within CIELAB ΔE ≤ 1 to reference shade standards for uniformity.

• Particle dispersion: Fine milling for consistent brightness and opacity—even at low pigment concentrations.
  
  

Applications

• PU Foam Systems: flexible, semi-rigid, integral skin, and rigid grade foams for insulation, seating, packaging, and medical use.

• Footwear & Apparel: Vibrant and stable colors in soles, inserts, and cushioning foams.

• Molded Components & Cast PU: Toys, grips, housings, and custom-shaped parts requiring reliable coloration and durability.

• Adhesives, Coatings & Sealants: Decorative or protective PU formulations where appearance matters.

• Marine & Transportation: Coated or molded parts requiring high UV resistance, low yellowing, and long-term performance in sunlight.
  
  

Storage & Shelf Life

• Storage Conditions: Store sealed in a cool, dry environment (10–30 °C) away from moisture and UV exposure.

• Shelf Life: Typically 12 months when stored properly—longer stability possible under cool conditions.
