Heat-stable at extrusion
Insulation compounds run hot, so specify pigments proven at your PVC or polyolefin processing temperature to avoid shade drift or char.

Pigments for Cables & Wires
Organic pigments for cables & wires sourced from India with grade selection, documents, and export support.
Cable and wire compounds are processed hot in PVC, PE or XLPE and then live for decades, so organic pigments here must survive extrusion temperatures without shade shift and, above all, resist blooming and plate-out that spoil insulation surfaces. Phthalocyanine blues and greens plus heat-stable diarylide and disazo yellows carry the standard core-identification colours. Buyers sourcing from India should confirm heat stability at compound temperature, non-blooming grades, low plate-out behaviour and consistent tinting strength batch to batch, backed by RoHS/REACH statements for cable exports.
At a glance
What Pigments for Cables & Wires covers
No blooming or migration
Plasticised PVC pushes weak pigments to the surface; choose non-blooming, migration-resistant grades so identification colours stay put for years.
Low plate-out
Pigments that deposit on screws and dies interrupt runs; well-dispersed, plate-out-resistant selections keep long cable extrusions clean and continuous.
Reliable colour coding
Core identification depends on repeatable shade and strength, so demand tight batch-to-batch consistency and pre-approved standards before bulk despatch.

Answers
Pigments for Cables & Wires — frequently asked questions
Which organic pigments suit PVC cable insulation?
Copper phthalocyanine blue and green, plus selected heat-stable diarylide and disazo yellows and reds, work well. The key filters are proven heat stability at your compound temperature and non-blooming, low-migration behaviour in plasticised PVC.
Why does blooming matter for wire compounds?
Blooming is pigment migrating to the surface, leaving a haze or transfer that ruins insulation appearance and colour coding over time. In plasticised PVC it is a real risk, so migration-resistant grades are essential for long-life cable jackets.
Do you supply RoHS and REACH documentation?
Reputable Indian exporters provide RoHS and REACH conformity statements, heavy-metal declarations and safety data sheets. Confirm these before ordering, since cable buyers in the EU and elsewhere require them for compliance sign-off.
Can you match an existing core colour standard?
Yes. Send a physical sample or agreed reference and it can be matched in your specific compound system, then locked as an approved standard so every future batch is checked against it before shipping.
