What are the differences in color and performance between phthalocyanine blue and ultramarine blue, both of which are blue coloring pigments

The difference between the two mainly depends on the following aspects

From the perspective of color

Phthalocyanine blue is dark blue, while ultramarine blue is light blue. There are three colors of phthalocyanine blue: red, purple, and green. Generally speaking, there is only one color of turquoise blue - red. The difference in hue has a significant impact on the actual performance of these two types of blue color powders when used

From the category of pigments

Phthalocyanine blue belongs to the phthalocyanine pigment in organic pigment systems. Turquoise blue belongs to the blue pigment in inorganic pigments. Therefore, phthalocyanine blue does not contain heavy metals, while ultramarine blue contains trace amounts of heavy metals. However, turquoise blue is different from other inorganic blue pigments, such as iron blue, as it contains very trace amounts of heavy metals and is a non-toxic inorganic blue pigment

From the perspective of pigment performance

Phthalocyanine blue has strong coloring power, but its resistance to light and weather is not as good as that of turquoise blue. Turquoise blue has strong coverage and good durability, but its coloring power is not as good as phthalocyanine blue. The performance that cannot be ignored in Qunqing Blue is whitening, which can effectively remove the yellow light in yellow products and make them whiter

From the perspective of the use of pigments

Phthalocyanine blue is mainly used in inks and plastics, as well as in coatings and paints. Qunqinglan is commonly used in various coatings, plastics, and daily chemical products such as laundry detergent, laundry soap, and laundry detergent

By now, I believe everyone has a better understanding of the difference between phthalocyanine blue and turquoise blue
