The present invention is directed to a coated
bismuth oxy
halide-based
pigment having a
coating comprising an
antioxidant, said
antioxidant is being a
phenol based, a phosphite or
phosphonate based, or a
thioether based stabilizer, and the
coating comprising an inner
coating and an outer coating, wherein the outer coating comprises the
antioxidant, and wherein the inner coating comprises a first layer consisting of one or more salts, or one or more oxides, heteropolyacids, organic acids, sulphites, sulfides, sulfates, phosphates, pyrophosphates, polyphosphates, hydrates, carbonates, or a combination thereof, selected from the group of alkali-earth metals, metals, non-metals, transition metals or lanthanides. Further, the present invention is directed to a composition comprising a paint, alacquer, an ink, a cosmetic, a resin, a
plastisol or a
polymer formulation, and such
pigment. In addition, the present invention is directed to a method for manufacturing a coated
bismuth oxy
halide-based
pigment, said method comprising the steps of: - providing a dispersion of a
bismuth oxy
halide-based pigment, adding a dispersion of an antioxidant, mixing and
drying.
