Inorganic Pigments

Inorganic pigments are colorants made from mineral compounds. Unlike organic pigments derived from carbon-based materials, inorganic pigments are often more stable and durable, making them ideal for various applications like paints, plastics, and cosmetics. Common examples include titanium dioxide for white, iron oxides for reds and yellows, and ultramarine for blue. These pigments are valued for their opacity, heat resistance, and lightfastness, ensuring that colors remain vibrant over time. While traditionally used in art and industry, they are increasingly important in modern materials for their safety and environmental benefits.
