Pigment loading systems

The UV absorbers are used to a greater extent with the solution vinyls than with the general-purpose and dispersion resins. This is due to the solution vinyl systems having been used to a greater extent outdoors than any of the other systems. The high color pigment loadings used with solution vinyl often act like UV screeners and protect the vinyl resin from attack.

Compared with organic pigments, the density and particle size are relatively high while the specific surface area and oil absorption are quite low. This means very high pigment loading is possible. However, precautions must be taken to prevent sedimentation in low-viscosity systems, due to the high density of the particles and the fact that they readily settle out. 

Reduction of the pigment paste viscosity, which allows for high pigment loading and economical tinting systems.
