Inorganic Pigments

The book provides a complete overview on inorganic pigments and their use in coatings, plastics, printing, cosmetic, and construction industries. Each chapter introduces a certain class of pigment in respect of fundamentals, manufacture, properties and toxicology and thus being very valuable for color chemists, materials scientists and specialists for pigment applications. The readers will benefit from a concise and well-structured text, numerous examples and figures, and a variety of questions for self-control.
