Extended data

Pigments can be classified according to the types of compounds: inorganic pigments can be subdivided into oxide, chromate, sulfate, silicate, borate, molybdate, phosphate, vanadate, ferricyanide, hydroxide, sulfide, metal and so on.

According to the chemical structure of compounds, organic pigments can be divided into azo pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, anthraquinone, indigo, quinacridone, dioxazine and other polycyclic pigments, aryl methane pigments and so on.

From the point of view of production and manufacturing, it can be divided into titanium pigment, iron pigment, chromium pigment, lead pigment, zinc pigment, metal pigment and organic synthetic pigment. This classification method has practical significance, and often a system can represent a professional pigment production industry.

From the application point of view, it can be divided into coatings, inks, plastics, rubber, ceramics and enamels, medicines and cosmetics, and fine arts pigments. All kinds of special pigments have some unique properties to meet the application requirements. Pigment manufacturers can also recommend a series of pigment products to professional users.
