What is Complex Inorganic Color Pigment(CICP)?

Outline

Complex inorganic color pigment (CICP) is crystallized color compound in solid solution produced by the calcination of two or more kinds of metal oxides including, Co, Cr, Fe or such transition metal element(s) at a very high temperature. It is also called calcined pigment or mixed metal oxides (MMO). CICP has a stable crystalline structure of rutile or spinel which provides outstanding properties, particularly heat resistance, weatherability and chemical resistance. CICP is widely used as colorants for ceramics, plastics and paints.

Features

Our CICP products are non-toxic and may clear the world green standards except for some pigments. Therefore, for example, our titanium buff and yellow are used as replacement of lead chromate or cadmium yellow. Color, particle size and other properties of our CICP are strictly controlled to always supply consistent quality products. Our CICP is marketed worldwide including Asian countries, U.S.A. and Europe.

At TOMATEC

We are making R&D activities aggressively not only for improving the performance of the existing products, but also for creating the new generation colorants which are extremely environmentally friendly.
