Organic Pigments Market Trends




  • Growing usage of organic pigments in the printing inks sector




Organic pigments are commonly employed in the printing ink application due to rules and activities such as FFDCA, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) in the food packaging application. Printing inks make advantage of the optical density, rub resistance, and rheological and flow qualities of organic pigments utilized in jet inks and UV inks. The printing ink market in newspaper and periodical applications has been dropping due to digitalization; nevertheless, the demand for printing inks in the packaging application is increasing rapidly.
