Pigmendipõhine

Pigmendipõhine refers to something that is pigment-based. In various contexts, this indicates that the fundamental component or characteristic of the subject is its colorant. This can apply to a wide range of applications.

In the realm of art and design, a pigmendendipõhine paint or ink uses finely ground solid particles, known as pigments, to provide color, opacity, and texture. These pigments are insoluble in the medium they are suspended in, differentiating them from dyes, which are soluble. This pigment-based nature affects the permanence, lightfastness, and overall quality of the color.

In materials science and manufacturing, pigmendendipõhine can describe the composition of a material. For instance, a plastic that is colored using pigments rather than a soluble dye would be considered pigmendendipõhine. This approach influences how the color interacts with light and its resistance to fading or degradation.

In cosmetics, makeup products like foundations, eyeshadows, and lipsticks are often pigmendendipõhine. The pigments are responsible for the coverage and the color payoff of these products. The selection and combination of different pigments determine the final shade and finish.

The term highlights the reliance on physical particles to achieve color, as opposed to chemical colorants that dissolve. This distinction is crucial in understanding the properties, performance, and applications of various colored substances and materials.
