The new pigment developed by ECKART keeps the highly chromatic blue shade unchanged in all viewing angles.

ECKART has recently developed EDELSTEIN Sapphire Blue, its new pigment with anti-fading technology that helps to keep the highly chromatic blue shade unchanged in all viewing angle.

Usually, conventional effect pigments change to pale colours as the perspective changes. Thanks to its striking dark-down flop and strong opacity, EDELSTEIN Sapphire Blue is able to maintain its blue shade even in very flat angles.

The new pigment launched by ECKART is the ideal solution for dark colour shades, as it enhances the end product’s plasticity when interacting with light and reflections. In addition, it provides major depth, high chemical resistance and noble glitter effects.

EDELSTEIN Sapphire Blue is suitable for several applications, such as coatings, printing inks and plastics. It can be processed in all systems, coating technologies (i.e., coil, pneumatic and electrostatic painting) and printing techniques, it shows no EMI shielding and provides high radar transparency.

The shelf life of EDELSTEIN Sapphire Blue runs to ten years. For outdoor applications, ECKART has also specifically developed EDELSTEIN CFX Sapphire Blue, that provides weather and moisture resistance and improved intercoat adhesion.
