Engelhard Corporation has added four new color pigments to its Synergy color pigment line for use in coatings applications. Synergy pigments offer significant benefits for formulators of water- and solvent-based industrial coatings and powder coatings. The four new colors, Synergy Orange 6170, Synergy Orange 6139, Synergy Yellow 6212 and Synergy Orange 6112 have been designed to meet the end-user’s specific needs and provide increased value. Designed for powder and industrial coatings, Synergy Orange 6112 is a heavy-metal-free, coloristic offset to moly orange. The pigment displays excellent weather fastness, and is solvent and heat stable to 500°F. Synergy Orange 6170 is a red-shade orange that maintains a yellow undertone. Synergy Orange 6139 is a strong, mid-shade orange. Both Orange 6170 and Orange 6139 can be used in powder coatings and in water- and solvent-based coatings. These pigments provide a cleaner alternative to similar shade pigments on the market at significantly better value. Engelhard Synergy Yellow 6212 is a medium, red-shade yellow developed for the industrial coatings market. It exhibits excellent lightfastness, weather fastness, bleed stability and rheological properties. More info: Engelhard, (732) 205-5000; E-mail: info@engelhard.com; Web: www.engelhard.com.
