2Ferro GmbH Pigments for Plastics and Paints

In the paints and plastics industry Ferros PigmentSystem unit is worldfamous for its high-qualitycolouring products. Our most important goal is tomaintain a high level of product quality and tomaximize customer satisfaction. To ensure this, weemphasize dialogue and partnership with our cus-tomers, focusing on the challenges of their marketsand on their suggestions and requirements, as wellas on our mutual desire to protect the environment.As a result, we are always ready to offer the mostcreative and ambitious new products to our cus-tomers.

Ongoing research and development is the basis ofthe high quality of our pigments, as we continuallyimprove not only their composition, but also ourproduction technology and test methods.

The production, technical advice and developmentof these pigments are located in our sites Colditzand Frankfurt am Main.

Production and Properties

Our pigments obtain their extraordinary propertiesthrough a combination of special manufacturingprocesses.

The pigments are chemically inert and have ex cellent heat- and weathering resistance, lightfastness and opacity. They are non-warping andnon-bleeding. The inherent properties of these pigments allow for a wide range of end uses. Applications includemany different kinds of polymers, high qualityindustrial coatings, coil coating, powder and highheat resistant coatings, weatherproof facade coa-tings, silicate coatings and stuccos.

Business Unit Pigment Systems

Pigment Systems is a business unit of thePerformance Pigments and Colors division of FerroGmbH. We develop, produce, and market in Europeour pigments and special coating materials for theplastics- and paints- and coating industry.

ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certification annuallyensures the very highest standards, while our acti-ve participation in the international ResponsibleCare-Program underlines our commitment to theworld we live in.

3Due to the solid state reaction and if necessary, a subsequent washing process, all pigments meetthe high demands for heavy metal release.Therefore most of the rutile and spinel pigmentsmay be used without restriction in direct food contact applications such as food containers, plastic dishes, and toys.

The following data applies to all pigments men tioned in this brochure:

Sieve residue (45 m) < 0.1 % Water soluble components < 0.3 % Volatile components < 0.5 % Heat stability > 500 C

(Exception: Violet 28-5333 is only heat-resistant up to 260 C)

Lightfastness > 7 (Blue Wool Scale) Weathering resistance > 4 (Grey Scale) Migration stability = excellent

The following table contains more pigment specific data.

Values of each shipped lot as well as the totalcolour deviation E and the deviation of colourstrength to the standard are given in a certificate of analysis, and will be sent if required by our customers. Reflection curves of the pigments mayalso be provided upon request.

If your desired colour is not included in this brochure, please contact us. Our technical service is looking forward to support you in finding a solution.

Cool Colors

Asphalt driveways, shingled roofs, and black carshave something in common: out in the sun, theyare quite hot, because dark colours absorb a bigquantity of the infrared radiation of the sun.A lot of energy is needed in cooling houses andcars, but there is a growing interest in energysaving and in economically preferred products.How can we solve this dilemma?

The solution is Cool Color pigments!

Cool Color pigments, a development by Ferro, staymuch cooler in the sunlight. They offer you a greatpossibility to decrease the undesirable absorptionin the IR region. Ferro Cool Color pigments reflectthe infrared light to a big extend, while still appe-aring as intensely coloured as comparable conven-tional pigments.

So cool does not mean white! Certainly objectscoloured white have a high reflectivity of sunlight,but modern design requires colours, including verydark shades.

Cool Colors

6Objects coloured with Cool Color pigments staycooler. Several other advantages result from thisfact:

improved comfort levels for building occupants lower air conditioning costs, energy saving cooler cities the coloured parts are less subject to thermal

expansion and contraction increased service life less product degradation intense colours available

How does infrared reflection work?

Approximately half of the radiation of the sun lieswithin the infrared region (fig.1). The infrared radiation emitted by the sun is absorbed by roofs,walls, facades, and the like, leading to a heat build-up inside.

Fig. 2 illustrates the energy transfer from the out -side inside the building. All energy that is notreflected, convected or re-emitted, is conducted into the inside of the building and thus increasesthe interior temperature.

One possibility to work against this increasing temperature is a higher reflectance of the exteriorsurface of the building by coating it with a pigmentthat shows high infrared reflectance.

Properties and Application

Fig. 3 shows the solar reflectance spectra of theCool Color pigments, measured in a PVDF system.While still a major portion of the visible light isabsorbed and the pigment appears brightly coloured, the biggest difference to conventionalpigments can be found in the infrared area. The IRreflective pigments of the Cool Color range reflectthe infrared radiation to a great extend, almost asgood as the white pigment titanium dioxide, whereas carbon black or other black pigmentsabsorb almost all infrared light.

Therefore objects coated with Cool Color-pigmentsdo not absorb as much solar energy and stay cooler.Of course every pigment has a different reflectancespectrum. The percent of solar reflectance is theimportant figure. Whereas carbon black has a solarreflectance of 5%, the solar reflectance of FerrosCool Color pigments is significantly higher.

Fig. 2: Energy transfer in buildings

Cool Colors

7Cool Color pigments are currently used in a number of different applications such as buildingexteriors, cool roofs, vinyl siding, automobiles,industrial coatings shortly: in all applicationswhere solar heat reflection and energy saving properties are desired.

All Cool Color pigments can be mixed with eachother. Together with titanium dioxide, a full colourpalette can thus be achieved.

The matching of specific RAL colours is also possi-ble. If your desired colour is not included in thisbrochure, please contact us. Our Technical Serviceteam will be happy to support you in finding a solution.
