Pigment Green 17

Name: Pigment Green 17
Availability: InStock

High-performance chrome green pigment (Cr₂O₃) with excellent opacity, UV and heat resistance — ideal for paints, plastics, inks and ceramics.

Pigment Green 17 (chrome oxide green) common type: green crystal powder, metal luster, magnetic, good covering strength, high-temperature-resisting and sunlight fastness, not soluble in water, barely soluble in acids, comparatively stable in air, unaffected by acids and alkalis of common density,sulfur dioxide,sulfur hydrogen etc.

Key Properties

Bluish-green shade with strong opacity and high tinting strength
Excellent heat stability, suitable for high-temperature processing
Outstanding resistance to weathering and lightfastness
Chemical resistance against acids, alkalis, and solvents
Non-bleeding and non-migrating in various media
Widely applicable in plastics, paints, coatings, concrete, and industrial finishes

Key Features & Benefits

High lightfastness and weather resistance — excellent outdoor durability.
Heat stable — many grades withstand high temperatures (commonly up to ~1000°C for calcined grades).
Opaque with good hiding power and strong tinting strength.
Chemical and solvent resistance — reduced migration in plastic/end-use matrices.

Applications

Pigment Green 17 (Chrome Oxide Green) is widely used in:

Architectural and industrial paints & coatings (metal, concrete, exterior systems)
Printing inks — especially for high-durability and specialty applications
Plastic coloration for outdoor products and high-temperature molded parts
Ceramics, glazes and glass coloration
Specialty uses: camouflage pigments, refractory mixes, currency printing accent colors

Formulation & Usage Notes

Dispersion: inorganic oxide — requires good milling/dispersion for optimal color development in organic matrices.
Compatibility: generally compatible with most binder systems; test for migration in plasticizers before large runs.
Loadings: adjust pigment concentration to achieve desired opacity and shade — small % additions give good tinting strength.
Grades: choose calcined or milled grades depending on heat requirement and gloss target.

Can Pigment Green 17 withstand high processing temperatures?

Yes, this pigment demonstrates excellent thermal stability, making it suitable for use in engineering plastics and other applications requiring high-temperature processing.

How does Pigment Green 17 perform in outdoor applications?

Thanks to its outstanding weather and lightfastness, Pigment Green 17 maintains color stability and does not degrade easily when exposed to sunlight, rain, or environmental pollutants.

Is Pigment Green 17 resistant to chemicals?

Yes, it shows strong resistance to acids, alkalis, and many solvents, ensuring long-lasting performance even in chemically aggressive environments.

Is Chrome Green heat resistant?

Yes — many calcined chromium oxide grades are heat stable and retain color up to around 1000°C (grade dependent). Choose the proper grade for very high temperature applications.
