Their Properties
What are Pigments?
Pigments are substances that add color to a 
thing. The term is frequently mistaken for dyes.
The main difference is that pigments can 
dissolve in liquid with the help of a binder while 
dyes can dissolve in liquid by themselves.
Types of Pigments Organic pigment          Inorganic pigment
Inorganic pigment occurs naturally and has a basic chemical 
structure. The mineral and metal substance that lends them their 
color gives them their name of 'inorganic pigments'. They are 
manufactured through a basic procedure that includes a 
methodology of washing, drying, powdering and combining into a 
formulation.
Organic pigment refers to pigments that are synthesized in the 
labs and consequently there is more prominent control over their 
manufacture. Their level of harm consequently is really low thus 
they don't pose a natural hazard. They are used in the plastics, 
paints, synthetic fibers and inks industries and numerous other 
high-tech applications.
