Tintium pigments developed by the in-house R&D team at Chempon Group are softtextured, producing bright and clean shades with high tinting strength and outstanding single pass dispersibility in Printing Inks, Paints, Plastics and other similiar media.

Most of the Yellow and Orange pigments used all over the world are of benzidine (deceptively called diarylide) type or of dangerous metals such as lead, chromium or cadmium. In the case of benzidine (diarylide) pigments, the azo compound cleaves with biological fluids and the carcinogen benzidine is released.

Tintium series of speciality colorants are available presents in 3 colours Reddish yellow, Greenish yellow, Orange and black.

Tintium pigments are more easily dispersible than any other comparable product

Tintium is truly the future of the plastics industry. It serves in economical and environmental considerations as well as weatherfast properties.

Tintium pigments are best suited for offset printing inks, publication gravure inks, package inks, flexo and screen inks. In paste inks such as offset inks TINTIUM series pigments afford the necessary viscosity. Tintium pigments are totally fast to water and so "toning" problemms do not occur in the offset printing. Gel varnishes can be used in making offset inks using Tintium. But using gel varnishes the tone for drying is much shorter as in web offset.

For gravure inks which require more flow TINTIUM 2500 series may be advantageously used. Due to high tinctorial value, smaller dosages may be used. There is no tendency to crystallise in solvent medium. Though easy flowing, the ink after application on the paper assumes thixotropy and hence sharp images were the result. In metal decorating inks Tintium withstands the temperatures involved with ease.

In flexo and screen inks due to the inherent stability to solvents, Tintium are the pigments of choice.
