Quinacridone Pigments
Quinacridone Pigments covers organic pigments whose quinacridone structures produce red-to-violet shades. Pigments are dispersed color-bearing particles; crystal structure, surface treatment and dispersion affect the resulting shade and performance.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Quinacridone is an organic molecule used in the formation of organic pigments. It is an organic compound with the molecular formula C20H12N2O2. Quinacridone pigments comprise an important class of organic pigments. Its linear form is particularly important for exploiting it commercially. Quinacridone pigments are very novel pigments that have many diverse applications. Quinacridone pigments generally produce seven types of bright and intense colors. They are preferred compared to other pigments due to its excellent bleed and resistance to heat, its deep and vibrant colors, its high transparencies and its very good tinting value and working properties among other things.
The distinguishing feature is organic pigments whose quinacridone structures produce red-to-violet shades. Compare the dispersed pigment in the actual binder at matched loading and film thickness. Flocculation, particle-size distribution and refractive-index contrast change tint strength and opacity. Heat, light or chemical resistance must be checked separately; metallic flakes additionally depend on orientation after application.
What turns activity into demand
Accepted paint, plastic and ink output consumes pigment through formulation loading, dispersion yield and target shade.
The commercial boundary
Separate dry pigment, treated powder, dispersion and finished coating; chemical-family and color categories may overlap.
Does a powder's visible color predict the finished color?
