Phthalocyanine Green G (Pigment Green 7, PG7) is a premier synthetic organic pigment celebrated for its exceptional properties. It is chemically classified as a polychlorinated copper phthalocyanine, a structure that endows it with outstanding stability. The pigment is most valued for its intense, clean, yellowish-green hue, which is often described as the standard mid-shade green against which others are measured.

 

Its performance profile is exceptionally robust. It exhibits superior lightfastness and weather resistance, allowing it to withstand prolonged outdoor exposure without significant fading or color change. PG7 is also highly chemically resistant to acids, alkalis, and solvents. It possesses excellent thermal stability, enabling its use in a vast array of applications, including high-temperature plastics processing. Combined with its very high tinting strength, these characteristics make it a dominant and cost-effective green pigment.

 

Its applications are exceptionally broad. It is a cornerstone pigment in industrial and automotive coatings, high-performance inks (including packaging and security), and a vast range of plastics and synthetic fibers. It is also universally used in artist's paints and has found its way into construction materials and specialty applications.

 

In essence, Pigment Green 7 is a benchmark high-performance pigment, renowned for its vibrant color, unparalleled durability, and exceptional versatility across almost every major industry.
