Let's introduce it to you Colorants are mainly divided into pigment and dye Pigment is a colorant which can't be dissolved in common solvent, so in order to obtain ideal colorability, it is necessary to disperse pigment evenly in plastic by mechanical method According to the structure, it can be divided into organic pigment and inorganic pigment Inorganic pigments have good thermal stability, light stability and low price, but their colouring power is relatively poor and their relative density is large; organic pigments have high colouring power, bright color, complete chromatogram and low relative density, but their disadvantages are not as good as inorganic pigments in terms of heat resistance, weather resistance and covering power Dye is an organic compound which can be used in most solvents and dyed plastics It has the advantages of small density, high coloring power and good transparency, but its general molecular structure is small and easy to transfer when coloring Some colorants are used in industry, but some of them are used in food What's the harm of eating too much colorants? This problem is something that many consumers are concerned about In fact, the use of colorants should be used according to the national regulations, which will not cause harm to people Now, there are food safety detectors, which can help us accurately check out food Safety level, if you want to know more about food safety, please go to Baibai safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
