Miscellaneous Applications

Cerium sulfide pigments are also used for some applications in printing inks and polyurethane foams, and are being evaluated in laminated paper. 4.5 Toxicology and Environmental Aspects Cerium sulfide pigments (NEOLOR™) are almost completely insoluble in water, and the cerium ion shows effectively no toxicity (acute or chronic). As predicted, cerium sulfide pigments have shown […]

Paint and Coatings Application

A paint grade of cerium sulfide has also been developed. The pigment has been evaluated in several coatings formulations such as automotive refinish (acrylic-iso­cyanate binders), general industrial solvent-based systems (polyester-melamine binders), oil-based architectural coatings, and water-based paint. In the latter, per­formance may be improved by treatment with organics during formulation. Paint grade cerium sulfide pigment […]

Properties and Applications

4.4.1 Coloration of Plastics Cerium sulfide pigments have been developed primarily for the coloration of plas­tics. Shades of existing cerium sulfide pigments vary from light orange to dark red/burgundy. Colors obtained are less chromatic than with cadmium pigments, but are much brighter than with iron oxides. The use of cerium sulfide in combination with white […]

Cerium Sulfide Pigment: Manufacture

The majority of processes aimed at obtaining rare earth sesquisulfides of high pur­ity use solid/gas reactions. Most of the methods of synthesizing lanthanide sulfides involve high-tempera­ture gas-solid reactions between a sulfurizing agent (H2S and/or CS2) and lantha­nide precursors at high temperatures or under high pressures [21, 22]. Various types of lanthanide precursors can be used: […]

Rare Earth Sulfides and the Origins of their Color

Rare earth sulfide materials have received considerable attention over past years, mainly because of their interesting optical and magneto-optical properties. Rare earth elements and sulfur combine to form a wide range of compounds as sulfides or oxysulfides [3, 4]. Among them, sesquisulfides appeared to have the best potential as far as color is concerned (Table […]

Polymers 90% All grades ofpolymers and compound masterbatch Ceramics 6% Glasses, enamels, porcelain, tile, china and glazes 3% Oil colors, water colors, acrylics Surface Coatings 1% Coil coatings, automotive paint, high temperature paint […]

Regulatory Issues

Since the 1950s, cadmium pigments have been used predominantly in the poly­mer industry. Regulations have, however, been introduced for some time to restrict their use in certain applications, because of concerns about the presence of cadmium in the environment. Pigment producers and users have always advo­cated strongly that pigments should be treated differently in environmental […]

Physical Properties

The main advantages ofcadmium pigments are: • excellent temperature stability • Insolubility in organic solvents (non-bleeding) • light fastness and weather fastness • chemical resistance • non-migratory • good dispersibility • Polymers colored with cadmiums have good resistance to distortion and warpage • high opacity • can be recycled in polymers Table 3.1: Colour index […]

Final Drying and Milling

The filter-cake of the calcined and washed pigment is re-dried, then milled using a pin or hammer mill, to give the final fine powder. Although relatively soft, as with most pigments, excessive shear during this operation can be detrimental. The choice and configuration of equipment is important. The pigment is now ready for blending with […]
