About Plastics Pigments

We offer a lineup of organic pigments, inorganic pigments, effect pigments (pearlescent/metallic), and selected dyes optimized for a wide range of plastic applications. With a focus on thermal stability, weatherability, dispersibility, chemical resistance, and safety requirements (for food contact and toys), we provide products tailored to the performance requirements of each application.

What you will find on this page

  • Target polymers: PP/PE/PVC/PS/ABS/PA/PC/PBT/PET/POM and more
  • Evaluation criteria: processing thermal stability, environmental thermal stability, weatherability, lightfastness, dispersibility, chemical resistance, migration, and compliance with regulations related to food contact and toys
  • Sustainability: NIR-reflective black (a black color that enables near-infrared sorting of plastics for recycling)
  • Technical support: technical documentation and SDS, plus proposals for application-specific evaluations

Major Applications

Key applications

Engineering Plastics (High-Performance Resins)

Example application for pigments in engineering plastics (high-performance resins): heat resistance in high-temperature processing such as PA/PC/PBT

Shade Stability Under High-Temperature Processing

Based on heat test results, we offer a lineup of pigment products that can withstand the high processing temperatures of engineering plastics and selected super engineering plastics.

Color Reproducibility, Particle-Size Control, and Pressure Stability

We maintain thermal stability during processing in PP/PA/PET. In addition, by optimizing particle-size distribution and managing pressure rise, we reduce pigment agglomerates and help prevent yarn breakage.

  • Evaluation focus: particle-size control, pressure-rise management

Abbreviations and Terminology Guide

This guide explains the abbreviations and terminology frequently used on this website.

Engineering plastics
We refer to plastics such as PA / PBT / PC collectively as “engineering plastics (Enpla).” In general, they offer heat resistance of 100℃ or higher and excellent mechanical properties.
Dope-dyed fibers (spin dyeing)
A method in which pigments or dyes are mixed into the polymer melt/solution (dope) to color the material, followed by spinning to form fibers.
Color Index (CI)
An international pigment classification system such as PR254 / PR122 / PY110 / PB15:3.
Food-contact compliance (FCC / FCS)
For pigment products that comply with food-contact regulations in each country/region, we will summarize and provide the relevant documentation (FCC / FCS: Food Contact Certificate / Food Contact Statement).
NIR (near-infrared)
Generally refers to light in the range of 780–2500 nm. Also called “heat rays,” it readily converts to heat upon absorption. It is also used for polymer sorting in recycling. Because carbon black absorbs near-infrared light, it may lead to heat build-up and can make polymer sorting more difficult.
