Organic vs Inorganic Pigments: Which One Should You Choose?

  When it comes to choosing the right pigments for your product—whether you’re formulating coatings, plastics, inks, or construction materials—the first big decision is often between   organic and  inorganic pigments . Both types serve the same primary function— adding color —but how they perform, behave, and impact your final product can vary significantly. So, which one is better? The answer depends entirely on your application, budget, and performance expectations. Let’s break it down. What Are Inorganic Pigments?

Pigments: The Power of Colour in Industry

Imagine looking at a vibrant blue car, a glossy plastic toy, or a bright printed packaging. What gives these materials their colour? The answer lies in pigments — tiny particles that make a big impact. At Alliance Organics LLP, we believe  pigments  are not just colourants; they’re critical building blocks in everything from inks to plastics to textiles. What is a Pigment – and Why Does It Matter? A pigment is a substance that appears a specific colour because it selectively absorbs certain wavelengths of light.   Unlike a dye (which dissolves in a medium), a pigment remains insoluble and is dispersed as fine particles. In industrial contexts — paints, coatings, inks, plastics — pigments do much more than just ‘add colour’. They influence opacity, durability, fastness to light and heat, and compatibility with the medium. The right pigment can turn a good product into a great one; the wrong choice can lead to fading, poor dispersion or failure in performance. The Two Big F...
