The finer the pigment is distributed in the carrier, the stronger the colouring power. The finer the pigment is distributed in the support, the stronger the colouring power. Contrary to colourants, pigments are not dissolved but dispersed: the pigment remains in the new mass as a small grain and does not dissolve. This is why a pigment does not dissolve in water.
Natural pigments may have an organic origin, but are usually extracted from the earth as a mineral (ochres, umbers, earths, etc.).
The majority of pigments are synthesised from mineral or organic substances. The most important mineral synthetic pigments are oxides of iron, chromium, cobalt, titanium, lead, molybdate, ...
Exclusive Dragon pigments:
The use of the exclusive Dragon pigments is completely determined by the composition. Products have been developed for the following applications, among others:
- Cementitious products such as industrial floors, concrete blocks, concrete clinkers, roof tiles, tiles, grouting mortar, terrazzo, ...
- Lime products such as mineral paints, frescoes, plasters, ornaments, ...
- Plastics such as plastic, bitumen, asphalt, rubber, resins, quartz flooring, etc.
- Paints such as oil and water colours, ...
- Fertilisers
- Paper, cardboard, ...
Natural pigments:
The range of natural pigments consists of ochres, oxides, earths (sienna) and umbers. Due to their excellent UV and weather
stability, the natural pigments can be used in almost all indoor and outdoor applications. Due to their alkali-resistance and colour strength, these pigments are excellently suited for lime and cement products.
