Phthalocyanine Blue 15:0 Pigment for Plastic Coating and Painting - High Strength Colorant
Overview
Phthalocyanine Blue 15:0 (CAS 147-14-8) represents the gold standard in synthetic organic pigments, engineered to deliver unmatched color strength, durability, and versatility for industrial plastic coatings, automotive paints, and architectural finishes. As a β-modification copper phthalocyanine pigment, this high-strength colorant combines exceptional thermal stability with brilliant chromaticity, making it the preferred choice for manufacturers requiring fade-resistant, chemically inert, and environmentally compliant blue hues.
