Business Unit Pigment Systems Pigment Systems is a business unit of the Performance Pigments and Colors division of Ferro GmbH. We develop, produce, and market in Europe our pigments and special coating materials for the plastics- and paints- and coating industry. ISO and OHSAS certification annually ensures the very highest standards, while our active participation in the international Responsible Care-Program underlines our commitment to the world we live in. Ferro GmbH Pigments for Plastics and Paints In the paints and plastics industry Ferro s Pigment System unit is worldfamous for its high-quality colouring products. Our most important goal is to maintain a high level of product quality and to maximize customer satisfaction. To ensure this, we emphasize dialogue and partnership with our customers, focusing on the challenges of their markets and on their suggestions and requirements, as well as on our mutual desire to protect the environment. As a result, we are always ready to offer the most creative and ambitious new products to our customers. Ongoing research and development is the basis of the high quality of our pigments, as we continually improve not only their composition, but also our production technology and test methods. The production, technical advice and development of these pigments are located in our sites Colditz and Frankfurt am Main. Production and Properties Our pigments obtain their extraordinary properties through a combination of special manufacturing processes. The pigments are chemically inert and have ex cellent heat- and weathering resistance, light fastness and opacity. They are non-warping and non-bleeding. The inherent properties of these pigments allow for a wide range of end uses. Applications include many different kinds of polymers, high quality industrial coatings, coil coating, powder and high heat resistant coatings, weatherproof facade coatings, silicate coatings and stuccos.

3 3 Due to the solid state reaction and if necessary, a subsequent washing process, all pigments meet the high demands for heavy metal release. Therefore most of the rutile and spinel pigments may be used without restriction in direct food contact applications such as food containers, plastic dishes, and toys. The following data applies to all pigments men tioned in this brochure: Sieve residue (45 µm) < 0.1 % Water soluble components < 0.3 % Volatile components < 0.5 % Heat stability > 500 C (Exception: Violet is only heat-resistant up to 260 C) Lightfastness > 7 (Blue Wool Scale) Weathering resistance > 4 (Grey Scale) Migration stability = excellent The following table contains more pigment specific data. Values of each shipped lot as well as the total colour deviation ΔE and the deviation of colour strength to the standard are given in a certificate of analysis, and will be sent if required by our customers. Reflection curves of the pigments may also be provided upon request. Asphalt driveways, shingled roofs, and black cars have something in common: out in the sun, they are quite hot, because dark colours absorb a big quantity of the infrared radiation of the sun. A lot of energy is needed in cooling houses and cars, but there is a growing interest in energy saving and in economically preferred products. How can we solve this dilemma? The solution is Cool Color pigments! Cool Color pigments, a development by Ferro, stay much cooler in the sunlight. They offer you a great possibility to decrease the undesirable absorption in the IR region. Ferro Cool Color pigments reflect the infrared light to a big extend, while still appearing as intensely coloured as comparable conventional pigments. So cool does not mean white! Certainly objects coloured white have a high reflectivity of sunlight, but modern design requires colours, including very dark shades. If your desired colour is not included in this brochure, please contact us. Our technical service is looking forward to support you in finding a solution.

6 6 Objects coloured with Cool Color pigments stay cooler. Several other advantages result from this fact: improved comfort levels for building occupants lower air conditioning costs, energy saving cooler cities the coloured parts are less subject to thermal expansion and contraction increased service life less product degradation intense colours available How does infrared reflection work? Approximately half of the radiation of the sun lies within the infrared region (fig. 1). The infrared radiation emitted by the sun is absorbed by roofs, walls, facades, and the like, leading to a heat buildup inside. Fig. 2: Energy transfer in buildings One possibility to work against this increasing temperature is a higher reflectance of the exterior surface of the building by coating it with a pigment that shows high infrared reflectance. Properties and Application Fig. 1: Solar radiation spectrum Fig. 2 illustrates the energy transfer from the out - side inside the building. All energy that is not reflected, convected or re-emitted, is conducted into the inside of the building and thus increases the interior temperature. Fig. 3 shows the solar reflectance spectra of the Cool Color pigments, measured in a PVDF system. While still a major portion of the visible light is absorbed and the pigment appears brightly coloured, the biggest difference to conventional pigments can be found in the infrared area. The IR reflective pigments of the Cool Color range reflect the infrared radiation to a great extend, almost as good as the white pigment titanium dioxide, whereas carbon black or other black pigments absorb almost all infrared light. Therefore objects coated with Cool Color -pigments do not absorb as much solar energy and stay cooler. Of course every pigment has a different reflectance spectrum. The percent of solar reflectance is the important figure. Whereas carbon black has a solar reflectance of 5 %, the solar reflectance of Ferros Cool Color pigments is significantly higher.

7 7 Cool Color pigments are currently used in a number of different applications such as building exteriors, cool roofs, vinyl siding, automobiles, industrial coatings shortly: in all applications where solar heat reflection and energy saving properties are desired. All Cool Color pigments can be mixed with each other. Together with titanium dioxide, a full colour palette can thus be achieved. The matching of specific RAL colours is also possible.
