Coatings bismuth vanadate pigments

Bismuth vanadate pigments are used in the manufacture of lead-free, weather resistant, brilliant yellow colors for automobile finishes and industrial paints. They are suitable for the pigmentation of solvent-containing paints, water-based paints, powder coatings, and coil-coating systems. It can be mixed with other pigments... [Pg.115]

The chemistry of bismuth vanadate pigments makes them sensitive to acids. Ho v-ever, tests in which acids were applied to baking finishes under practical conditions have shown that the acid resistance of these pigments is normally comparable to that of a highly stabilized lead chromate. The application of bismuth vanadate pigments in powder coatings and coil-coatings should be tested in customer material, because in such cases - more than in standard liquid paint systems - the suitability depends on the total formulation.
