The manufacture of high performance pigments has become a global industry, with a growth rate
well in advance of the more classical types of pigments. The revised and expanded second edition of
this volume offers both producers and users of these materials the opportunity to review and update
their understanding of the latest technologies and market issues affecting both organic and inorganic
high performance pigments. Updates in this edition include an overview of the current market for
high performance pigments, synthesis, reaction mechanisms, physical and chemical properties,
applications, regulatory affairs, toxicology, and ecotoxicology.
From the Preface: “High performance pigments are an important segment of the diverse and rich
field of color and visual effects technology. The sub-category of pigments referred to as ‘high
performance’ generally denotes members of the larger body of pigments, both organic and inorganic, that
exhibit enhanced durability. The most salient durability feature is generally regarded as resistance to
visible and ultraviolet radiation (lightfastness), but heat stability and chemical resistance are also
critical attributes...”
Target Audience: Chemists, physicists, engineers, applications specialists, materials scientists,
academics, and students interested in high performance pigments and their various end use applications.
