Description

Zircon,Cadmium Red CAS NO 72828-62-7 is an inorganic pigment composed of cadmium sulfoselenide encapsulated within a zirconium silicate matrix. This engineered structure provides exceptional thermal stability and chemical resistance, making it a superior choice for demanding high-temperature applications. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the ceramics, plastics, and specialty coatings industries who require vibrant, durable red coloration under extreme processing conditions.

Application

• Ceramic Glazes and Bodies: Imparts stable, brilliant red hues in porcelain, sanitaryware, and tile manufacturing, capable of withstanding firing temperatures.
• Engineering Plastics and Polymers: Used for coloring high-performance plastics like nylons and polycarbonates that undergo high-temperature processing.
• Industrial and Specialty Coatings: Provides durable color for powder coatings, coil coatings, and other finishes requiring weather and chemical resistance.
• Glass Coloration: Employed in the production of colored glass and enamels where color stability at high temperatures is critical.
• Masterbatch Production: Serves as a key colorant in concentrated pigment formulations for plastics and synthetic fibers.
• Artists' Colors: Used in the formulation of high-quality, lightfast artists' paints and pigments.
