2013.04.28   08:28

Pigment, the necessary raw material for coating production, is classified as organic pigment and inorganic pigment. After the chemical reaction, inorganic pigment includes various metallic oxide, chromate, carbonate, sulfate and sulfide like aluminate powder, copper powder, carbon black, zint white and titanium dioxide. Inorganic pigment is used in coatings, plastics, synthetic fibre, rubber, building materials, paints, ink and paper industry. Also, it is the most widely used pigment in coating industry.
Pigments market is inextricably linked with coating industry
According to statistics, in June 2011, there are 342 firms in pigments industry, the total output of that month is RMB 5,9 billion, sales value :5,83411billion, export :RMB 0.59billion ; on July 2012, the total output of that month is RMB 5.6 billion, sales value :5,26969 billion, export :RMB 0.6229billion.
With the recovery of global economic, the building materials, coatings, plastics and ink industry show a rapid development all over the world. Also, the demand of inorganic pigments increases sharply. According to the information, the total output of domestic coatings is 9.66 million tons, increasing 22.8% compare to last year; the national total output of pigment is 2.247million tons in 2010, increasing 22% than that of last year; the output of coatings through the country is 1,079.5 ton, increase 16.44% on year on year base. According to the data above, the total output of pigment in 2011 is expected to excede 2.6 million tons. In conclusion, the development of pigment is inextricably linked with the coating industry.

Inorganic pigment industry is promissing.

In recent years, the orders of pigments increased abviously, the price of the product fluctuated frequently, the supply of it is in tension in some region. China, as the top inorganic pigment producer, keep the output of TiO2, iron oxide, lead, chromium pigements at the top of the world.
Eco-friendly inorganic pigment, as the important part of inorganic pigment, keeps the annul growth at 50% or above in recent years for its environment friendly, non-toxic and other advantages. And the production and the sales of it are both prosperous, demand outstripped the supply. Meanwhile, domestic producers are researching and developing the eco-friendly inorganic pigments. This trend brings the hope to the downstream industry.

Pearlescent pigment: wide application and promissing future.
Pearlescent pigment fulfills people’s psychological need of showing the product grade, highlighting their personality by combination of color which includes pearlescent pigment and the fuction of produc. So the pearlescent pigment is widely used. Presently, there are more than 10 domestic pearlescent pigment producer with various firms scale. Until 2010, the capacity of pearlescent pigment of our country is 25000 ton, and about 10000 tons pearlescent pigment export to other countries around the world.
After several years development, many firms in pearlescent pigment industry are forced to close down or change their business for various reasons. But the overall developing trend is positive. With the growth of the capacity of pearlescent pigment, the pearlescent pigment supply market pattern is forming. But because of the large number of pearlescent pigment producer,the decentralization of the costoms, high selling cost and the fierce competition, the pearlescent pigment industry goes into a difficult position.
