Most of these, also referred to as mineral pigments, offer superior chemical stability combined with very good heat resistance, lightfastness and weatherability. They are extremely opaque, have a relatively high colour strength and are easy to incorporate.

Inorganic pigments do not migrate and do not bleed in organic solvents and plasticizers.

Thanks to their interesting technical properties, inorganic pigments are reliable colourants in plastics, paints, lacquers and printing inks based on a wide variety of inorganic and organic binder systems, some of them are suitable for colouring cement, lime and silicate-based construction chemical products.
