Abstract:
The present invention relates to a new Inorganic Blue pigments from Cobalt doped Magnesium having Transition Element Oxides and a process for the preparing the same. The present invention more particularly relates to the development of blue pigments, comprising oxides of alkaline earth, and transition metals of the general formula Mg1-xCoxWO4 (x=0.1 to 0.5), Mg1-xCoxN-bO6 (x=0.1 to 0.5), and Mg1-xCoxTiO3 (x=0.1 to 0.5) and well suited for coloring applications of a wide variety of substrates for example paints, varnishes, plastics, ceramics etc. Raw materials such as MgO, CoO and one of WO3, TiO2, Nb2O5 and are weighted in the stoichiometric ratio and calcined in the range 1100-1300° C. for 6-12 hrs duration in air atmosphere. The well ground calcined powders were used for characterization of the pigments. The phase purity and optical properties of the prepared pigments were investigated.
