Dataset of PY53 Nickel-Titanate yellow pigments for plastic, enamel and ceramic glaze applications

This dataset shows the change in color tone in plastic (masterbatch), enamel, and ceramic (glaze) colored with PY53 Nickel-Titanate-Pigment calcined with different NiO ratios by solid-state reaction. The pigments were mixed with milled frits and applied to the metal and ceramic substance for enamel and ceramic glaze applications, respectively. For the plastic application, the pigments were mixed with melted polypropylene (PP) and formed into plastic plates. The CIELAB color space approach was used to assess L*, a*, b* values over applications created for plastic, ceramic, and enamel trials. These data can be used to evaluate the color of PY53 Nickel-Titanate pigments with different NiO ratios in the applications.

The Specular reflection excluded (SCE 10 °-D65) approach was adopted since the material under test is more susceptible to surface conditions. Data format Raw Description of data collection UV-VIS spectrophotometer was used to measure the L * , a * , and b * color parameters to determine the impact of various NiO ratio on the color characteristics of the material. The CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage)-L * , a * , b * colorimetric technique was applied. L * represents the color's level of brightness and darkness on a scale ranging from white ( L * = 100) to black ( L * = 0). The scales a * and b * extend from the green (-a * ) to the red ( + a * ) axis and the blue (-b * ) to the yellow ( + b * ) axis, respectively.

Value of the Data
• This [dataset] [4] is an important resource for those who want to see where the CIELAB coordinates are headed, showing the NiO ratio and post-application color tone values for enamel, ceramic, ink and plastic (masterbatch) applications that use or develop PY53 inorganic pigment.
• This data can be used for people who develop, use, and apply pigment to get information about the color tone before application. • This data can be used by researchers studying the ratio of metal oxides and the properties of the pigment formed by the solid-state reaction. • This data can be used to understand the effect of metal oxide on the reflection properties of PY53 pigment for people studying %R reflection. • This data can be used in future studies to investigate the effect of the studies to be made by changing the NiO ratios on the color tone and the effect in different applications. • This data can be used as a source to find the starting formula for researchers who want to develop PY53 pigment .

Objective
Different nickel oxide ratios studies of inorganic PY53 Nickel-Titanate pigments are not available in the literature. All the work done is on a single application or on the synthesis of a single pigment. This [dataset] [4] allows the color tones of different applications of the pigment with different NiO ratio to be negotiated as described in the (Aslan et al.) [1] .

Data Description
The [dataset] [4] is provided as an excel file (.xlsx) including 3 sheets. 16/75/9 6 Table 2 CIE L * a * b * values of the plastic(masterbatch) application.  Table 3 CIE L * a * b * values of the enamel application.

Calcination process
The formulations of the samples were made with various NiO ratios are displayed in Table 1 . TiO 2 and Sb 2 O 3 were maintained at constant values, whereas NiO was calcined at increasing ratios. The calcination was carried out in electric furnaces at a heating rate of 7 °C/min at 1200 °C for 1 h. The raw materials were subjected to a mixing process beforehand [3] . The particle sizes of pigments were reduced by grinding them in a Rosetti mill for 10 minutes [1] .

Plastic (Masterbatch) application
After polypropylene (PP) was melted in the hot mixer at 180 °C, the pigment was added into melted polymer. And then, press was applied on the melted polymer to obtain plastic plate to regulate the color tone in the plastic application [1][2] .

Enamel application
Glass-ceramic frit, water, kaolin, and pigment were all milled for 8 minutes in a Rosetti mill to observe the color values of the pigments with various NiO ratios in enamel application. With a spray gun the resultant aqueous combination was sprayed to the sheet metal. After the created plate was fired at 800 °C, the color values were measured.

Ceramic glaze application
Ceramic frit, water, kaolin, and viscosity agents were added and processed with a Rosetti mill for 30 minutes to examine the color changes of various NiO ratios in ceramic glaze application. After preparing the glaze with 4% pigment added, it was applied on the ceramic tile with a slide. The thickness of glaze layer is 0.7 mm. The ceramic tile was then fired at 1100 °C in a roller furnace.

CIELAB coordinates
The CIELAB coordinates for all applications are given in Figs. 1 -2-3 . The lightness changed as the nickel ratio changed. In plastic application, the density increased as the nickel ratio increased. In the enamel application, the color became redder as the nickel ratio increased. In the ceramic application, the color became more yellow as the nickel increased.
