Holliday 19 Ultramarine Pigment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Holliday 19 Ultramarine Pigment?

A: Holliday 19 is a synthetic sodium aluminosilicate pigment with sulfur-based chromophores, delivering a stable, bright blue hue. Its structure is based on the sodalite cage framework, typical of high-quality ultramarine blues used in demanding industrial applications.


Q2: Is Holliday 19 suitable for use in acid-sensitive systems such as certain coatings or inks?

A: Holliday 19 exhibits limited acid resistance and may undergo color shift or partial degradation below pH ~5.5. It is best suited for neutral to alkaline formulations, including architectural paints, artist materials, and select polymer masterbatches where pH stability is maintained.


Q3: How does Holliday 19 compare to other ultramarine pigments in terms of thermal stability?

A: Holliday 19 offers enhanced thermal stability relative to standard ultramarines, retaining its blue color integrity up to approximately 180–200 °C under short-term exposure. Prolonged heating above this range or exposure to strong oxidizing agents may cause irreversible discoloration to greenish or brownish tones.


Q4: Can Holliday 19 be used in food-contact plastics or cosmetics?

A: Holliday 19 is not approved for direct food contact or cosmetic applications under current global regulatory frameworks. It is intended for industrial and decorative uses only — such as general-purpose coatings, construction materials, and non-regulated plastics — where end-use compliance requirements do not mandate food-grade or personal care certification.


Q5: What dispersion guidance is recommended for optimal color development?

A: For consistent performance, Holliday 19 should be fully dispersed using high-shear mixing or bead milling in the vehicle phase. Pre-wetting with compatible solvents or surfactants is advised to minimize agglomeration. Dosage typically ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight, depending on opacity, tinting strength, and formulation requirements.
