Chromic Oxide G-8599

Pigment Grade Chromium Oxides or Pure Chromium Oxides, as they are sometimes called, find a variety of applications in paints and coatings, enamels, concrete and other building products, floor coverings, and in other uses where permanence of color is paramount. Characteristics of the Pigment Grade Chromium Oxides, as compared to other green pigments, are their stability and performance. They are unaffected by acids, alkalis, paint vehicles and solvents, and they possess excellent durability against light, harsh weather and extremely high temperatures (such as those used in firing of ceramics). G-8599 is a dark green pigment with high infrared reflectance specifically formulated for use in camouflage coatings. When combined with cobalt bearing mixed metal oxides, it provides the basis for practical, cost-efficient pigments to meet military specification coatings. G-8599 is easily dispersed in and compatible with the resin systems specified for camouflage coatings.
