The weathering fastness tests have been carried out in a film forming resin system (PVC:40%). Assessment after 12 months open-air weathering (Mediterranean climate) compared with the 5-level ISO 'GreyScale for Assessing Change in Colour', for semi-mass tone and a 1/25 standard depth.
The light fastness tests have been carried out exposing sample for 1000 h with Atlas Weather-O-Meter 600 WRC in a film forming resin system (PVC:40%). Assessment after the test made with comparision of the 8-level ISO 'BlueScale for Assessing Change in Colour' (DIN 54003), for the semi-mass tone and a 1/25 standard depth.

Important Notice
Specifically for use in exterior coatings, select the appropriated pigment pastes.
The selection criteria are:
- Weather fastness property of the pigment paste (depending on the saturation level of the shade)
- Type of paint systems
- Market quality requirements
In order to choose the optimum tinting paste configuration please contact our colorist.
We recommend to use mainly
oxide grades - references with 3 letters & 1 digit - in pure silicate and silicate emulsion paints due to high pH in wet phase and lack of protection of the pigment by a film forming system . (ex. Oxide blue C1-BO , Oxide yellow C2-YO)
By similarity, we recommend as well
oxide grades in silicone resin systems due to high permeability of the paint film.
