Answers
Start from the end use. Match shade direction, tinting strength, opacity and the fastness profile — heat, light, weather, solvent and migration resistance — to your substrate and processing conditions rather than to the colour name alone.
Organic pigments give brighter, cleaner, higher-strength shades and are standard for vivid blues, greens, reds and yellows. Inorganic pigments offer higher opacity and heat resistance but duller shades. Many industrial systems blend both.
Light fastness uses the 1–8 Blue Wool scale and heat, weather and chemical resistance use 1–5 grey scales, where higher is better. Prioritise high light and weather fastness for outdoor and automotive use.
Include the pigment code, application and resin system, current shade reference, packing, destination, monthly or annual volume, preferred Incoterms and any compliance documents your import team needs.
Technical Data Sheets, Safety Data Sheets (SDS/MSDS) and batch-specific Certificates of Analysis are issued on request, together with REACH and RoHS declarations and the correct HS code for customs clearance.
MOQ and lead time depend on the pigment grade, packing format and destination port. Standard export packing is 25 kg bags in cartons or on shrink-wrapped pallets. Share your product code, monthly volume and target market and the export desk will confirm MOQ, price and the shipment schedule.
Buyer knowledge base
A short, practical brief for procurement and technical teams — how the right pigment grade is matched, documented, packed and shipped from India, and the fastest way to a quotation.
Heat, light, weather, solvent and migration resistance matched to the end use, not over-specified.
Sourced at origin through an in-house export desk — one contact from sample to shipment.
High tinting strength means less pigment per batch and cleaner, more economical shades.
For outdoor use, phthalocyanine and DPP grades keep colour through sun and weather.
