Shepherd Color pigments are highly-engineered ceramic colorants — and that means tough! They are impervious to sunlight, chemicals, and thermal attack. They are compatible with not only widely used polymers, but also the most exotic, difficult-to-formulate systems. Their extreme inertness defends against migration from plastics or coatings, and helps to ensure environmentally sound, non-toxic recipes. For more than three decades, Shepherd Color pigments have been the pigments of choice for premium coil coatings. Makers of these advanced products rely on Shepherd performance for their warrantees of twenty-five years or more. Choose Shepherd pigments and be sure to get maximum durability for your products! Vitreous enamel producers can count on Shepherd pigments to withstand processing temperatures of more than 700 °C. Imagine the stability that can be achieved in your advanced polymer! Many Shepherd pigments meet U.S. and international regulations for direct food contact. Eliminate uncertainties and concerns about safety and handling of pigments — use Shepherd pigments in your most sensitive applications.

In short, solve your most difficult coloration problems with Shepherd Color pigments!

Arctic Blue 385
A rich blue powder produced by high temperature calcination. This pigment has fair UV and visible opacity, is chemically inert, heat resistant, and stable to ultraviolet light. It is non-bleeding and non-migratory. It has exceptional durability, and is generally used in applications where resistance to heat, light, and weather are needed. It is compatible with most resin systems and polymers, and is non-warping.

Arctic Green 223
A light green powder produced by high temperature calcination. This pigment has excellent UV and visible opacity, is chemically inert, heat-resistant, and stable to ultraviolet light. It is non-bleeding and non-migratory. It has exceptional durability and hiding power, and is generally used in applications where resistance to heat, light, and weather are needed. It is compatible with most resin systems and polymers, and is non-warping.

Arctic Yellow 10P270
A yellow-orange powder produced by high temperature calcination. This pigment has excellent UV and visible opacity, is chemically inert, heat resistant, and stable to ultraviolet light. It is non-bleeding and non-migratory. It has exceptional durability and hiding power, and is generally used in applications where resistance to heat, light, and weather are needed. It is compatible with most resin systems and polymers, and is non-warping.

Arctic Black 10P922
A black powder produced by high temperature calcination. This pigment has good UV and visible opacity, is chemically inert, heat resistant, and stable to ultraviolet light. It is non-warping, non-bleeding and non-migratory. It exhibits low heat build-up, has exceptional durability and hiding power, and is generally used in applications where resistance to heat, light, and weather are needed. It is compatible with most resin systems and polymers, and is non-warping. Typical applications (non inclusive) are plastics and other applications where equivalent pigment chemistry is used.

Arctic Brown 10P850
A dark brown powder produced by high temperature calcination. This pigment has excellent UV and visible opacity, is chemically inert, heat resistant, and stable to ultraviolet light. It is a moderately good reflector of IR radiation. It is non-bleeding and non-migratory. It has exceptional durability, and is generally used in plastics applications where resistance to heat, light, and weather are needed. It is compatible with most resin systems and polymers, and is non-warping.
