About Plastics Pigments

For a wide range of plastic applications, we offer organic, inorganic and effect pigments, including pearlescent and metallic pigments, as well as selected dyes. We introduce products tailored to application and performance requirements such as heat stability, weather resistance, dispersibility and chemical resistance, while also considering regulatory requirements for food contact and toy-related applications.

What you can learn on this page

  • Target polymers: PP, PE, PVC, PS, ABS, PA, PC, PBT, PET, POM and more
  • Evaluation criteria: processing and environmental heat stability, weather resistance, lightfastness, dispersibility, chemical resistance, migration, and compliance with food-contact and toy-related regulations
  • Recycling-related needs: NIR-reflective black pigments to support polymer sorting using near-infrared light

Abbreviation and Terminology Guide

A guide to abbreviations and terminology frequently used on this website.

Engineering plastics
Plastics such as PA, PBT and PC are collectively referred to as engineering plastics. They generally offer heat resistance above 100°C and excellent mechanical properties.
Solution-dyed fibers
A method in which pigments or dyes are mixed into the spinning solution of a synthetic fiber before the fiber is spun.
Color Index (CI)
International pigment classifications such as PR254, PR122, PY110 and PB15:3.
Food-contact compliance (FCC / FCS)
For pigment products that comply with food-contact regulations in each country or region, we provide documentation such as an FCC or FCS (Food Contact Certificate / Food Contact Statement).
NIR (Near-Infrared)
Light in the wavelength range of approximately 780–2500 nm. Near-infrared light can be converted into heat when absorbed by a material, and is also used in recycling systems to identify and sort resins. Since conventional carbon black readily absorbs near-infrared light, NIR-reflective black pigments differ in heat-generation behavior and resin-sorting compatibility.
