Pigment preparation or pigment paste
Pigment preparations are also known colloquially as pigment pastes and are a commercial form of pigments. They are a liquid mixture of substances in which the pigment is already dispersed. They are used, for example, for coloring paints, dispersion paints and printing inks. In principle, pigment preparations contain the same feedstock as their target system, e.g. a coating. However, they do not have the final properties of a coating, but serve the sole purpose of pigmentation.
So-called semi-finished products are fillers and matting agents. Additives improve the technical and optical properties of the coating system, e.g. haptics, resistance, corrosion protection, flame retardancy, gloss level, surface finish, etc.
The greatest advantage of pigment preparations over powder pigments is that the pigment is already dispersed, thus eliminating the most time-consuming production step. The full color strength is developed without an additional dispersion process. In addition, they can be adjusted very precisely in terms of color strength and coloristic behavior.
At a glance
- Simple metering at each process step
- No need for energy-intensive grinding

Your challenge - our solution
Consulting for the right solution.
We accompany the entire manufacturing process. Your product can be manufactured quite classically according to your recipe. If the focus is on the application, we also develop individual products and new formulations. Even a product from our existing SIL pigment paste range may already be the perfect solution for you and can be easily integrated into an existing system.
