COLORTHERM® Green GX
Product Description
Colortherm® Green GX is a heat stable chromium oxide green pigment. The product is used extensively in the coloration of construction materials and in the paper industry in the field of colored laminate papers. In addition, the pigment can also be used for the coloration of glazes, enamels or engobes in the ceramic industry. Given the usually short dwell times and relatively low shear forces in the processing equipment, the product has good dispersibility. The pigment is easy to break down and distribute to reach its final tinting strength quickly. It does not migrate in plastic and is very lightfast and weather stable. The pigment belongs to the Colortherm® product range that has been developed particularly for applications where high heat stability is required. Like all LANXESS Colortherm® Green pigments, this product is characterized by very low chrome (VI) content.
