Global Pigment Dispersion Market Overview:
The rapid increase in construction activities in urban and rural countries and increasing disposable income for consumers is driving the Global Pigment Dispersion market. Pigment Dispersion is a suspension of insoluble solid particles either in organic solvent or water. It plays a significant role in determining the end properties of lacquers, paints or printing inks. The main function of pigment dispersion is to resist chemical attacks, discoloration, weather, and harsh temperatures. These agents contain at least one chemical compound, which absorbs and reflects light in order to impart colour to various substrates used. There are two types of pigment dispersion i.e. Organic and Inorganic pigments. Organic pigment refers to colored material made of organic compound with pigment properties whereas Inorganic pigment constitutes titanium dioxide, iron oxide, chrome green, ultramarine blue, carbon black, and others. These are the widely preferred in various end-use industries as they are abundantly available and inexpensive. However, some inorganic pigments such as lead chromate are considered hazardous upon consumption. The dispersion market is highly diverse; hence it needs to be customized according to the specific applications.
