Application of Iron Oxide Pigments 23
2025 / 03 / 07
I am Otto, learning about pigments. As a benchmark in the pigment industry, Lanxess has always been in a leading position. Today, I will learn about the application of Lanxess Bayferrox® and Colortherm® series in outdoor applications. If there are any errors, please help me correct them.
Plastic is widely used in outdoor applications, but, most plastic materials exhibit color change when exposed to UV light. Lanxess Bayferrox® and Colortherm® products have excellent weather resistance and UV resistance, making them the preferred choice for outdoor plastic coloring applications.
Lanxess’ high-performance pigments can give artificial turf a rich green color and efficiently dye the track red. In addition, compared to other colored pigments, they have particularly high photostability and weather resistance, ensuring that the product does not fade over a longer lifespan and maintains a high color intensity.
In addition, the unique black pigment Bayferrox® 303T can significantly reduce the surface temperature of plastic materials by about 20%. This pigment has a high solar reflectivity, which can reduce the thermal fluctuations of the polymer matrix and extend the service life of the plastic.
