Organic pigments belong to the class of insoluble organic compounds of high coloring strength and are composed of carbon compounds. These pigments are insoluble in water, organic solvents, and various kinds of media like agar. The organic compounds used to make pigments have characteristics such as resistance to sunshine, flooding, acid, alkali, organic solvents, heat, and excellent dispersion properties in the application medium. Organic pigments provide outstanding durability, mobility, viscosity to inks, and color to plastics and synthetic fibers. They are used as reinforcing agents and fillers in rubber.
