Phthalocyanine Pigments Market

Phthalocyanine Pigments Market Overview

Phthalocyanine pigments are one of the most widely used organic pigments which find their extensive utilization in the various industries including textile, paper, plastic, etc. Phthalocyanine possess intense blue-green color and also form coordination complex with almost all elements of the periodic table, which are further used as pigments or dyes.

Apart from its usage as pigments, Phthalocyanine have also been examined for its use as catalysts for redox reaction. The Phthalocyanine pigments belong to the Azo Phthalocyanine groups and possess excellent dispersion and rheological characteristics. Due to this, they are highly recommended for superior quality printing inks with good gloss and tone.

Historically, the first Phthalocyanine pigment was produced serendipitously when Swiss researchers attempted to convert o–dibromobenzene into phthalonitrile. Now, owing to their superior physical and color properties, Phthalocyanine pigments have been in use for multiple uses across the globe.

Copper Phthalocyanines are the most popular Phthalocyanine pigments due to its special coloristic and technical qualities which provide excellent color strength, transparency, dispersibility, and flow properties. The Phthalocyanine pigments are highly versatile and are suitable for their use in industrial, general, as well as marine and protective coatings.

They are also used in wood coatings, plastic coatings, powder coatings, industrial inks, and textile applications as well. The vast application portfolio of Phthalocyanine pigments is expected to support their market growth over the coming years and their market is expected to increase at a sustainable growth rate over the forecast period of 2017 – 2027.
