Ultramarine blue pigment is manufactured in multiple grades, each designed to meet the specific requirements of different industries and applications. Selecting the right grade is essential for achieving optimal performance and cost efficiency.
Grades are primarily differentiated by particle size distribution, surface treatment, and tinting strength. Finer particle grades offer higher tinting strength and are preferred for cosmetics and printing inks, while coarser grades may be suitable for rubber and some plastics applications.
Surface treatment is another important differentiator. Water-treated grades disperse more easily in water-based systems such as water-based paints and inks. Resin-treated grades are preferred for solvent-based and masterbatch applications.
Shree Krishna Ultramarine Pigments (P) Limited offers a comprehensive range of ultramarine blue grades tailored for paints, plastics, PVC, masterbatches, textiles, rubber, inks, EVA, polyolefins, cosmetics, and water-based systems. Our technical team can recommend the optimal grade for your specific application.
When evaluating grades, request samples from your supplier and conduct application trials to validate performance under your specific processing conditions. This investment in upfront testing pays dividends through improved product quality and reduced production issues.
