Complex Inorganic Coloured Pigments – CICPs – are the most stable class of pigments developed by the color industry. Meeting high heat-stability and chemical inertia standards, as well as light and weather-fastness, and taking into account its final product’s sustainability.
Day after day, formulators become more and more increasingly significant meeting the market’s demands under a lasting long-term standpoint, as well as for its quality.
Complex Inorganic Coloured Pigments – CICPs are inorganic pigments obtained by a mixture of two or more metal oxides followed by high temperature process.
When metal oxides such as Al, Co, Fe, Cr, Zn, etc… are blended and reach a high temperature exceeding 800°C during the calcination process, they become reactive and form a new and more stable compound, with a different and stable crystalline structure: the so-called inorganic pigment.
