Features Of Holliday 16 Ultramarine Pigment

  1. High chroma, intense blue-violet hue with excellent lightfastness and weather resistance.

  2. Chemically stable in alkaline systems; resistant to discoloration from lime, cement, and plaster.

  3. Low oil absorption ensures easy dispersion and high tinting strength in diverse media.

  4. Non-toxic and sulfate-free formulation compliant with major global regulatory frameworks for pigments.

  5. Thermally stable up to 250 °C, retaining color integrity during standard processing conditions.

Typical Applications Of Holliday 16 Ultramarine Pigment

  1. Architectural coatings including interior wall paints and decorative plasters.

  2. Cement-based products such as colored mortars, stucco, and precast concrete elements.

  3. Plastics requiring vibrant, heat-stable blue shades—especially polyolefins and PVC.

  4. Artist-grade pastels, modeling clays, and educational art materials.

  5. Soap and cosmetic colorants where non-bleeding, pH-stable blue tones are required.

Holliday 16 Ultramarine Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Holliday 16 Ultramarine Pigment?

A: Holliday 16 is a synthetic sodium aluminosilicate-based ultramarine pigment, stabilized with polysulfide chromophores. Its characteristic intense blue hue arises from the sulfur-containing cage structure within the sodalite lattice.


Q2: Is Holliday 16 suitable for use in acid-sensitive applications such as certain coatings or inks?

A: No — like most ultramarine pigments, Holliday 16 is not acid-stable and may undergo color degradation or bleaching in low-pH environments. It is best suited for neutral to alkaline systems, including architectural paints, artist materials, and select plastics formulations where pH control is maintained.


Q3: How does Holliday 16 perform under heat exposure during processing?

A: Holliday 16 exhibits moderate thermal stability and is generally suitable for applications involving processing temperatures up to approximately 120–140 °C. Prolonged exposure above this range — especially in the presence of moisture or acidic residues — may lead to gradual color shift or loss of intensity.


Q4: Can Holliday 16 be used in food-contact or pharmaceutical-grade polymer compounds?

A: Holliday 16 is not certified for direct food-contact or pharmaceutical applications. While it meets general industrial pigment purity standards, it is not approved under FDA 21 CFR or equivalent global food-contact regulations. Customers requiring regulatory compliance for such uses should consult Holliday Technical Services for alternative, compliant options.
