Pigment blue 36

Pigment Blue 36 (CAS 68187-11-1), also marketed as Ferro Blue-Green F 5686 and Daipyroxide Blue 9421, is a high-performance inorganic pigment known generically as cobalt chrome blue-green spinel.

Where is Pigment blue 36 used?

• Industrial coatings: durable blue-green coloration for high-bake automotive finishes
• Coil and powder coatings: resistance to elevated cure temperatures
• Plastics: coloring engineering polymers processed at high melt temperatures, including polyamides and fluoropolymers
• Ceramics and glass: stable blue-green tones in glazes and frits through firing cycles
• Printing inks and textiles: lightfastness and resistance to bleed in outdoor-exposed or solvent-heavy systems
• Its spinel crystal structure delivers thermal and chemical stability where organic pigments fail under process conditions.

Commercial specifications

• Fine dry powder; particle size and surface treatment vary by grade
• Standard grades for coatings, plastics, and ceramic end uses
• Packaging from small technical quantities to bulk industrial supply in fiber drums or supersacks
