Pigments and paints are widely used in many industries. The properties of a particular pigment system, such as coloring power or color depth, are primarily determined by its particle size distribution. These physical characteristics can significantly affect the quality and suitability of the final product. Therefore, particle sizing is a necessary step in a wide range of pigment applications.
Testing the particle characterization and size of pigments and inks can assist in yielding optimum performance.
Some examples of pigment, ink, and paint materials are:
- Resins
- Inkjet ink
- Ink paste
- Indigo dye
- Metal oxides
- Catalyst ink
- Carbon black
- Carbon catalyst
- Photoinitiator
- Carrier fluids
- Conductive ink
- Optical brightener
- Powder coatings
- Strontium chromate
- Pigment dispersant
- Lead antimonate yellow
- Mica and pearlescent powders
- Organic and inorganic pigments
