In natural light conditions, showing yellow, red, blue, green and other colors.

Hiding. In the film-forming material covering the substrate surface color capability. Used to cover one square meter area contained in paint pigment expressed in grams.
Lightfastness. Under certain light pigment colors maintain its original performance. System generally use eight said eight best.
Weatherability. The pigment in a natural or artificial climatic conditions, to maintain its original performance capability. Generally use five system, said five best.
Volatiles. Mainly refers to the water, generally shall not exceed 1%.
Oil absorption. Means to form a homogeneous mass 100 g pigment refined required grams of linseed oil, with oil by a small amount of good oil absorption of the pigment particles have a specific surface area and structure.
Water soluble. Pigments containing water soluble substances, in order to account for the quality of the pigment expressed as a percentage. Paints with paint, water-soluble material which normally control in 1% or less.
