Organic Pigments FAQ
What are the main advantages of organic pigments over inorganic ones?
Organic pigments offer superior color strength, brighter shades and better transparency compared to inorganic pigments. They provide a wider range of colors including intense yellows, oranges, reds and violets that are difficult to achieve with inorganic pigments. Additionally, they are more environmentally friendly as they don't contain heavy metals.
How should organic pigments be stored?
Organic pigments should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The storage area should be well-ventilated and maintained at temperatures below 30°C. Containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Proper storage can extend shelf life up to 2 years.
Are organic pigments suitable for food contact applications?
Only specific grades of organic pigments that meet FDA, EU and other regional food contact regulations can be used in food packaging applications. These pigments undergo rigorous testing for migration and toxicological safety. Our product line includes several food-safe organic pigments with full compliance documentation available upon request.
