High-performance Pigments for Coatings - Recent Developments

Last update on Jun 29, 2017

High-performance Pigments (or generally known as HPPs) is a class of pigments which exhibit high performance properties as per their use in end application . Some of the main classes include:

Organic (Benzimidazolones, Quinacridones, Perylenes, DPP…)
Inorganic/Metallic (Bismuth Canadate, Cadmium, Bismuth Vanadate, Aluminum…)
Optically Variable Pigments (Thermochromic, Holographic, Luminescent)
Fluorescent/Luminescent (UV/ IR) and Phosphorescent Effect Pigments
Vacuum Metallized (VM) or Physical Vapor Disposition (PVD)
Nano-pigments

These pigments have become increasingly important in recent years, with a high growth rate as compared to more classical types of pigments.

According to Smithers Rapra report , 'The Future of High-Performance Pigments to 2021', the value of the high-performance pigments market is estimated as $4.75 billion in 2016, rising to $5.49 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 2.9%. Also mentioned in the report, with a 54 percent market share, coatings remain the most significant end-use for HPPs, followed by plastics, inks and cosmetics, respectively.
