Description
Ultramarine Blue Product Overview
Ultramarine blue is a sodium aluminium sulfosilicate with a brilliant, slightly reddish blue shade. It is a fine powder that is insoluble in water, heat stable up to about 300°C and resistant to light and alkali, whereas acids decompose it.
In addition, plastics and masterbatch producers use it to color polyolefins and PVC, and to neutralize the yellow tint of white products. Similarly, coating and printing ink producers use it in decorative paints and inks, and cosmetic formulators use it as the colorant CI 77007 in eye shadows and soaps. Detergent and paper producers also use it as a bluing agent that makes whites look whiter.
Because it is non-toxic and heat stable, it suits food-contact plastics within regulatory limits. Other pigments in our range also include Titanium dioxide and Bismuth (III) oxychloride.
