Silicone is a polymer material with stable chemical properties, full polarity, high temperature resistance, low temperature and good softness, resistance to ozone, oxidation, electrical breakdown, and other characteristics. It has good transparency, is not prone to yellowing, strong durability, good molding and cutting properties, and can easily achieve the desired shape, color, and hardness.

Common types and characteristics of pigments in silicone materials

1. Titanium dioxide powder

Titanium dioxide is a commonly used white pigment with extremely high coverage and bleaching properties. In silicone products, titanium dioxide can not only adjust the color of white, but also improve the surface glossiness of the product. Therefore, titanium dioxide is often used as a white pigment in the production of white, light, and bright colored silicone products.
2. Organic pigments

Organic pigments have the advantages of good temperature stability, light resistance, and chemical stability, which can provide high-quality colors for silicone products. Organic pigments have bright colors and high color saturation, and can be added to silicone materials to make various colored products. The application fields of organic pigments are very wide, such as making models, flower beds, insoles, etc.

3. Inorganic pigments

Inorganic pigments have good thermal stability, photostability, and chemical stability, and are widely used in various high-temperature materials such as silicone materials, rubber products, and ceramic products. Inorganic pigments have high color purity and are not easily faded, and can be used to make natural stone, imitation stone, etc.
