HP BLUE 4693 — Pigment Blue 27 (Prussian Blue) | Iron Hexacyanoferrate for Publication Gravure & Industrial Coatings Technical Information What Is PB27 Pigment Blue 27 (CAS 14038-43-8, CI 77510) is iron hexacyanoferrate — Prussian Blue, the first modern synthetic pigment, discovered in Berlin around 1704 and still commercially significant three centuries later for the … Read more
Technical Information What Is PB1 Pigment Blue 1 (CAS 1325-87-7, CI 42595:2) is a triarylmethane PTMA lake pigment, molecular formula C₃₇H₂₈N₂Na₂O₈S₂W, occupying the brightest red-shade blue in the organic pigment spectrum—a position phthalocyanine blues cannot reach. Its triarylmethane carbocation chromophore is precipitated with phosphotungstomolybdic acid, converting the water-soluble cationic dye into an insoluble pigmentary form. … Read more
HP 3357 — Plastics-Grade Pigment Orange 13 (PO13) Low-Warpage PP/PVC | Honor Pigments Technical Information What Is PO13 A plastic part coming out of the mold warped is not a pigment problem — until the pigment is what’s causing the warpage. In semi-crystalline polymers like polypropylene, organic pigment particles act as heterogeneous nucleation sites during … Read more
HP 3434 — High-Strength Ink & Textile Pigment Orange 13 (PO13) | Honor Pigments Technical Information What Is PO13 In solvent-based gravure printing, the orange ink film on the substrate is typically 1 to 3 microns thick — thinner than a human hair. At that film weight, every gram of pigment in the formulation must … Read more
