What moves the price
For pigment, the drivers are mesh size, material, shade factor, roll width, roll length, uv resistance, hardness, shape — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Industrial pigment pricing moves most with chemistry and performance specs: inorganic vs organic, TiO2/iron oxide vs specialty effect pigments, plus purity, coating, particle size, and packaging. Realistic sourcing routes are US-facing distributors for smaller lots and direct factory/import channels for bulk; published bulk quotes show industrial iron oxide around $0.49–0.95/kg and broader pigment listings spanning roughly $0.85/kg up to much higher specialty levels, while TiO2 can run about $1,300–2,000/ton for industrial grades.
