Kopparftalocyaningrönt

Kopparftalocyaningrönt, also known as Copper Phthalocyanine Green or Pigment Green 7, is a synthetic organic pigment. Its chemical structure is based on copper phthalocyanine, a molecule known for its intense blue color. However, through specific chemical modifications and the incorporation of bromine atoms, the pigment's color is shifted towards green.

This pigment is highly valued for its excellent lightfastness and weather resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, contributing to its durability. Kopparftalocyaningrönt is produced through a process that involves the bromination of copper phthalocyanine. The degree of bromination influences the exact shade of green produced.

Kopparftalocyaningrönt finds extensive use in various industries. It is commonly employed in paints and coatings, including automotive finishes, industrial paints, and architectural coatings, where its vibrant green hue and exceptional durability are desirable. It is also used in printing inks for packaging, textiles, and publications. Furthermore, it is incorporated into plastics to provide coloration, particularly in applications requiring resistance to heat and light. Its stability and non-toxicity, when properly handled, make it a popular choice for coloring consumer goods.
