Features / Description of Pigment Blue 15:3 (Pigment Beta Blue) NC CAS No. 147-14-8

Phthalocyanine Blue NC (Beta Form, Solvent-Stable) is a bright green shade of blue, and possesses high lightfastness and high resistance to acids, alkalis, heat, waxes, oils, solvents, and soaps. It is transparent, solvent-stable, has strong tinting strength, but is weaker than alpha forms of Phthalocyanine Blue. It is the most commonly used cyan in process color printing, as it is usable in every type of ink and printing process. (Pigment Blue 15:3 CINo. 74160)

Pigment Beta Blue 15:3 also called as Pigment Blue 15:3, is a beta form of copper phthalocyanine which is manufactured by two step process of milling and pigmentation is to be taken.

Phthalocyanine Pigment Blue 15:3 (Pigment Beta Blue 15:3) find wide application in paints , Textiles , Rubber , Plastics , Artist Colours , Ink Industries etc. They Have excellent dispersion and rheological characteristics required for printing inks with good transparency , gloss and tone. These pigments are homogeneous belonging to Azo Phthalocyanine groups. The physical, chemical, colouristic as well as fastness properties of the pigments depend to a large extent on the type of binders used, presence of driers, hardeners,the substrate and film thickness etc.

Its fastness and heat stability makes it more applicable on plastics, rubbers and other polymers like fibers.
