Product Description:
Cobalt Aluminate Blue Spinel (CoAl₂O₄) nanopowder is a highly stable blue pigment formed via high-temperature calcination of cobalt(II) oxide and aluminum(III) oxide. The spinel structure delivers exceptional chemical inertness, UV and thermal stability, and long-lasting color retention. Modifiers such as MgO, ZnO, Li₂O, or TiO₂ may be included in small amounts to enhance specific properties.
This pigment is well-regarded for its excellent hiding power, resistance to chemical attack, and non-migratory behavior, making it suitable for applications requiring long-term durability in extreme conditions.
