COATINGS DCC Blue A3RN is particularly recommended for use in automotive coatings, both solvent and water borne. Their high transparency and unique reddish blue shade, make them an essential tool for styling effect Colors by combination with micas and alumina flake. With high weathering fastness in mind, DCC Blue A3RN is also advocated for use in coil and architectural powder coatings.
PLASTICS With Heat fastness up to 300 C, DCC Blue A3RN is one of the very few organic pigments on the available Color palette suggested for use in engineering polymers. With excellent dispersibility in addition, DCC Blue A3RN is especially recommended for fiber and film coloration.
INKS DCC Blue A3RN is recommended for the coloration of high performance inks. Examples are very high heat-fastness for printing on laminates and packaging requiring sterilization; Chemical fastness for printing on substrates likely to be in contact bleaches or other reagents; light and weathering fastness for exterior applications. With its unique Color and transparency DCC Blue A3RN is also suggested for specialty packaging and security inks.
