Are you in need of VAT Orange 43?
Look no further, we’ve got you covered!
Orange 2443 (VAT Orange 43) is the strongest organic orange pigment available in the market. It has a clean, bright shade, and has exceptional UV properties, solvent resistance, and heat stability. These attributes make it suitable for high-end or technologically advanced coatings and plastics applications. Specifically, Orange 2443 is used in automotive, industrial and powder coatings. It is also recommended for HDPE and PP plastics, and provides colors to engineering resins where other organic orange pigments will fail.

Upcoming Conferences:
Color is essential to human experience. From pre-history, through ancient civilization into the modern era, cultures have strived to create color in the objects around them. Early peoples exploited natural resources to create images from their surroundings, such as red earth, black soot and white chalk. With time people developed more sophisticated techniques to refine mine als to generate a wider palette with blue, green, bright red and yellow. Often toxic in nature, these early inorganic pigments formed the skeleton of the pigment manufacturing industry. With the discovery of coal tar in the 1800s, and the ensuing rapid industrialization of synthetic chemistry, an explosion of color transpired, leading to the modern chemical industry.
The historic generation of plastics followed a parallel path, beginning with use of natural materials such as ivory and tortoiseshell. Progression to processing of natural materials such as rubber, cellulose and shellac to generate more functional plastics, evolved to a place where coal tar chemistry provided a natural next step. This culminated in the discovery of Bakelite, the fir t fully synthetic plastic in 1907, which ignited the imagination for plastic materials, and the widespread production of consumer and industrial items accelerated. Color and plastic developments went hand in hand, as by the 1950s the desire for brightly colored, functional items skyrocketed. Pigment chemistries were re-imagined with this new era in mind and from this point colour effects were generated specifically or plastic functionality. Textile fibers, au omotive parts, plastic bottles, packaging and film; all un-thin able now, without the effect of color.
