Basic Copper Hydroxyl Phosphate is an inorganic copper(II) hydroxyl-phosphate compound used as a functional additive in polymer systems that require activation under high-energy conditions. The material remains chemically stable during normal processing and service, but becomes functionally active when exposed to fire temperatures or near-infrared laser irradiation. Under these activation conditions, it converts absorbed energy into localized heat and redox activity, enabling controlled polymer modification rather than bulk degradation.
In halogen-containing polymers such as PVC, the compound participates in copper-mediated char formation during combustion, reducing smoke density by promoting condensed-phase stabilization. Under near-infrared laser exposure, it acts as an energy-coupling additive that enables marking, surface modification, or laser-initiated metallization without relying on carbon black. Outside defined activation boundaries, the material remains inert and does not significantly alter polymer properties.
Short answer: Copper chrome black pigment is an inorganic spinel-type oxide pigment used to produce stable black coloration in high-temperature and chemically demanding systems. It fits plastics, coatings, and ceramic coloration where organic blacks are unsuitable. Its performance depends on crystal structure and dispersion quality, and it is not a carbon-based or organic black pigment.
PBK526 Eco Composite Functional Black is a composite inorganic black pigment developed by Kela Materials. It is primarily based on mixed oxides of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe), designed to deliver a purer, more stable black tone than many organic blacks or conventional carbon-based blacks in demanding processing environments.
This material is positioned for engineering use cases where thermal stability, process robustness, and color retention matter. PBK526 is not presented as a finished formulation; performance depends on binder/resin selection, dispersion method, film thickness, and processing temperature profile.
Typical value proposition: stable black appearance under heat and aging, with system-level predictability when carbon black introduces conductivity drift, blooming, or tone instability.
Short answer: Kela Cobalt Violet (PV14A) is an inorganic violet pigment produced from cobalt phosphate through high-temperature calcination. It provides clean violet coloration with good thermal and chemical stability in plastics, coatings, and ceramic systems. Its color performance depends on crystal structure and dispersion quality, and it is not an organic dye or carbon-based colorant.
Short answer: PB28 Cobalt Blue is an inorganic blue pigment based on a cobalt aluminate spinel structure. It is used where stable blue coloration is required under high processing temperatures and harsh environments. It fits plastics, coatings, ceramics, and glass systems. Its color performance depends on crystal integrity and dispersion quality, and it is not an organic dye or carbon-based colorant.
Short answer: Cerium sulfide red is an inorganic rare-earth sulfide pigment used to produce red coloration in plastics and other high-temperature systems. It fits applications where organic red pigments cannot withstand processing heat. Its performance depends on crystal stability and dispersion, and it is not an organic dye or iron-oxide red pigment.
Short answer: Bismuth vanadate transparent yellow is an inorganic pigment used to provide bright yellow coloration with controlled transparency in coatings, plastics, and inks. It fits applications requiring clean chroma and color stability without heavy-metal pigments. Its optical behavior depends on particle engineering and dispersion, and it is not a dye or an organic colorant.
Short answer: Cerium sulfide orange is an inorganic rare-earth sulfide pigment used to generate orange coloration in systems exposed to high processing temperatures. It fits plastics and specialty materials where organic orange pigments lose stability. Its color expression depends on crystal integrity and dispersion quality, and it is not an organic dye or iron-oxide pigment.
