  • Applications

    C.I. Pigment Blue 60 (CAS 81-77-6) is a copper phthalocyanine blue pigment used primarily as a colorant in coatings, printing inks, and plastics. It offers high tinting strength and excellent colorfastness, and is commonly employed to color engineering plastics and other polymer substrates as well as textile fibers. The pigment is also used in ceramic glazes and ceramic bodies to produce a stable blue coloration on surfaces. Applications are subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
