Scarlet Powder, as a yellowish red pigment, features high tinting strength, excellent dispersibility, and low cost. It is a commonly used red pigment with broad applications.

In recent years, with the gradual maturation of water-based paint applications domestically, pigments for water-based paints have drawn increasing attention from manufacturers. The focus is on maintaining good dispersion, coverage, and tinting properties in water-based systems.

To meet the demands of the water-based paint market, significant R&D investment has been made to modify the pigment surface of Scarlet Powder with hydrophilic additives. This ensures excellent stability and dispersibility in water-based systems, preventing floating or flooding whether applied by rolling or spraying. It also meets the temperature resistance requirements of low-temperature baking water-based paints, remaining stable without discoloration when baked at around 140°C. Additionally, Scarlet Powder has small particle size, uniform fineness, and provides excellent covering power and tinting strength.
