Q1: What is the primary function of ECKART PM2010 Pigment in coating and ink systems?
A: ECKART PM2010 is a high-performance pearlescent pigment based on mica coated with titanium dioxide, designed to deliver strong chroma, excellent lightfastness, and a smooth, metallic luster in decorative and functional coatings, inks, and plastics.
Q2: Is ECKART PM2010 suitable for use in water-based systems?
A: Yes, PM2010 is surface-treated to ensure good dispersibility and stability in both water-based and solvent-based formulations, though optimal performance requires proper dispersion techniques and compatible rheology modifiers.
Q3: How does PM2010 compare to conventional aluminum pigments in terms of weather resistance?
A: Unlike unprotected aluminum pigments, PM2010’s inorganic mica-titania structure provides inherently superior UV stability and corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for exterior applications without requiring additional protective binders.
Q4: What are key handling considerations during formulation and processing?
A: To preserve particle integrity and optical effect, avoid high-shear mixing beyond necessity, minimize prolonged grinding, and use non-ionic or weakly anionic dispersants—strongly acidic or alkaline conditions should be avoided to prevent surface degradation.
Q5: Can PM2010 be used in food-contact compliant coatings?
A: PM2010 is manufactured from FDA- and EFSA-permitted raw materials, and its composition meets general requirements for indirect food contact when incorporated into fully cured, compliant resin systems—final regulatory approval depends on the complete formulation and end-use application.
