CU-PHTHALO BLUE (PB15)

Cu-Phthalo Blue (PB15) is a Copper Phthalocyanine Blue pigment offering high light fastness, alkali fastness, acid fastness and solvent fastness properties.

Phthalocyanine Blue 1501C is a solvent-unstable Cu-Phthalo blue pigment with a reddish blue shade.  It offers superior properties, including light fastness, tinting strength, covering power, and alkali and acid resistance with no bleeding or pigment migration.

Copper Phthalocyanine Blue 1501C pigments are suitable for coloring plastics, PVC and textiles, as rubber colorants, and for use in water-based dispersions.

VALUE ADDED SERVICES

Advanced Color Matching
Ferro technicians combine their talents with today's most advanced computer color analysis equipment to offer our customers precise color-matching services. Our spectrophotometry process minimizes metamerism, speeds up color matching, ensures consistent quality and helps identify the pigment combination that produces any given color for the lowest possible cost and the right performance characteristics, including outdoor durability and NIR reflectance.

Ferro can match your color chip/drawdown or we can refer to complete files of OSHA, Munsel, RAL, Federal Standard 595 Series or Pantone® matching systems to achieve your reference number. All of our colors are matched to Ferro standards or your reference sample, ensuring precise color reproduction from order to order.

Providing Formulation Guides/Assistance with Startup Formula Creation
We assist customers in their product development efforts to ensure regulatory compliance (e.g., usage in food, cosmetics) and desired performance, including anticorrosion, outdoor durability and NIR reflectance.
