Outdoor weather fastness
Profiles and pressure pipes face sun and rain for years, so weather-fast pigment choices prevent fading, chalking and uneven colour on exposed surfaces.

Pigments for Pipes & Profiles
Organic pigments for pipes & profiles sourced from India with grade selection, documents, and export support.
Rigid PVC pipes, window profiles and fittings are usually pale or earth-toned and often live outdoors, so the pigment job is weather durability and clean dispersion in unplasticised PVC rather than bright shade. Organic pigments such as phthalocyanine and high-performance reds supplement inorganics for tint and depth. Buyers sourcing from India should confirm light and weather fastness for the exposure the profile will see, freedom from warp-inducing dispersion issues, thermal stability through calibration, and compatibility with the titanium-dioxide and stabiliser package already in the formulation.

What Pigments for Pipes & Profiles covers
Clean dispersion in uPVC
Poorly dispersed pigment can seed uneven cooling and warp; well-dispersed grades keep dimensionally critical profiles straight and true.
Works with TiO2 and stabiliser
Most profiles are TiO2-rich; pick organics that hold tint strength in white-heavy systems and do not fight the stabiliser package.
Stable through calibration
Rigid PVC endures high heat and shear to the calibrator, so thermal stability under that stress protects both shade and structure.

Answers
Pigments for Pipes & Profiles — frequently asked questions
How weatherable must pigments be for window profiles?
Window and fence profiles need high light and weather fastness because failure shows as visible fading or streaking. Match the pigment grade to expected exposure and geography; specifying tested weatherable grades avoids costly colour complaints after installation.
Can organic pigments cause profile warping?
Not directly, but poorly dispersed pigment creates uneven nucleation and cooling that can distort thin-walled profiles. Using well-dispersed grades or masterbatch, matched to your process, keeps dimensionally sensitive extrusions stable and straight.
Are pigments compatible with high TiO2 loadings?
Yes, and TiO2 actually boosts durability, but heavy white can mask tint strength. Choose organics that retain undertone in white-rich systems and confirm they do not interact adversely with the calcium-zinc or other stabiliser used.
Do you offer masterbatch or powder pigment?
Both are common. Powder suits large compounders with dispersion capability; single-pigment or tailored masterbatch gives smaller profile makers cleaner dispersion and easier dosing. The right form depends on your mixing equipment and volume.
