At the European Coatings Show in Nuremberg, Germany, Ciba introduced a new high-performance pigment with a yellowish red shade. Ciba IRGAZIN Solid Red is a diketo-pyrrolo-pyrrole (DPP) pigment designed for coatings applications. According to the company, IRGAZIN Solid Red offers better saturation than other Colour Index Pigment Red 254 products, together with high color strength and hiding power, and excellent durability, even in the highly saturated yellow-shade red color area. Additional properties of the product include excellent flow and gloss, and high resistance to chemicals, solvents and bleeding, says Ciba. Its combined properties make it suitable for premium exterior architectural paints, for industrial paints in general, and for automotive coatings. www.ciba.com/paintsandcoatings
