Pigment Red 224

Fastness Properties

Typical Applications

Pigment Red 224 is commonly used in the following applications:

• Industrial coatings
• Decorative coatings
• Powder coatings
• Plastic masterbatch
• Polyolefin coloration
• Printing inks
• Packaging inks

In coating systems, it provides vibrant red coloration with reliable outdoor performance.

In plastic applications, it offers stable color development and good processing stability.

Key Performance Properties

1. Good Heat Resistance

Pigment Red 224 demonstrates good thermal stability, making it suitable for many plastic processing and coating curing conditions.

2. Good Lightfastness

The pigment provides stable color retention under light exposure, supporting long-term appearance stability.

3. Strong Color Strength

PR224 offers high tinting strength, allowing formulators to achieve desired shades with efficient dosage levels.

4. Good Weather Resistance

The pigment performs well in many outdoor coating applications where durability is required.

Advantage

1. Balanced Performance and Cost

Pigment Red 224 offers a practical balance between durability and economic efficiency, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

2. Suitable for Multiple Industries

The pigment can be used in coatings, plastics, and inks, providing formulation flexibility across different sectors.

3. Stable Processing Performance

It maintains consistent shade development and color stability during manufacturing and application processes.

Typical Limitations

1. Lower Performance Than Premium High-Performance Reds

For extremely demanding automotive OEM or long-term outdoor applications, higher-performance pigment systems may be preferred.

2. Shade Selection May Vary by Application

Different formulations can influence final shade appearance, making application testing important.

3. Not Intended for Transparent Coloration

As a pigment, PR224 provides opacity rather than the transparent effects achievable with solvent dyes.

Buyer Guidance

When selecting Pigment Red 224, buyers should confirm:

• End-use application (coatings, plastics, inks, etc.)
• Processing temperature requirements
• Outdoor durability expectations
• Shade requirements
• Regulatory and compliance requirements

Providing detailed application information helps suppliers recommend the most suitable grade and formulation approach.
