What is Pigment Yellow 62

Pigment Yellow 62 (C.I. 13940) is a synthetic organic disazo condensation yellow pigment widely used in coatings, plastics, and printing inks. It provides a strong reddish-yellow to orange-yellow shade with relatively high tinting strength and good durability properties. Due to its improved fastness characteristics compared with many conventional azo yellows, Pigment Yellow 62 is commonly applied in industrial coatings and plastic coloration where greater resistance to light and heat is required.

Typical Applications

Pigment Yellow 62 is commonly used in:

  • Industrial and decorative coatings

  • Automotive and architectural coatings

  • Plastic coloration including polyolefins, PVC, and engineering plastics

  • Printing inks

  • Masterbatch production

It is suitable for both indoor and certain outdoor applications depending on formulation conditions.

Key Performance Properties Related to Applications

  • Color Shade:
    Provides a reddish-yellow to orange-yellow tone suitable for strong, warm yellow color formulations.

  • Tinting Strength:
    Offers relatively high tinting strength, allowing efficient color development in coatings and plastics.

  • Heat Resistance:
    Demonstrates good thermal stability suitable for common plastic processing conditions.

  • Lightfastness:
    Exhibits improved lightfastness compared with many traditional azo yellow pigments.

  • Dispersibility:
    Can be processed using standard dispersion or compounding equipment in common resin systems.

Advantages

1. Coloristic Advantages

Clean and bright yellow shade, slightly reddish in tone, offering a soft and natural color appearance.

Moderate tinting strength, slightly lower than other Hansa yellows (e.g., PY1, PY3) but excellent for color consistency.

Excellent color uniformity after dispersion, minimizing specks or color variation.

2. Application Advantages

Wide compatibility with various resin systems, including HDPE, PVC, PS, and polyurethane.

Good dispersibility, allowing uniform coloration and smooth processing.

High processing stability, maintaining color under extrusion and injection molding conditions.

Broad application range, suitable for household goods, toys, packaging, and industrial plastics.

3. Economic & Processing Advantages

High cost-performance ratio, balancing reliability and affordability.

Effective pigment substitute for higher-cost yellows such as PY83 or PY174 in medium-performance applications.

Low production cost, thanks to easy dispersion and stable color performance.

Typical Limitations

  • Weather Resistance:
    Long-term outdoor durability should be verified depending on formulation.

  • Cost Consideration:
    Generally positioned above standard diarylide pigments in cost.

  • Processing Evaluation:
    Performance may vary depending on resin system and processing temperature.

  • Color Matching:
    The warm reddish tone may require adjustment when matching cooler yellow shades.

Buyer Guidance

  • Shade Requirements:
    Confirm whether a reddish-yellow or orange-yellow tone fits the formulation target.

  • Processing Temperature:
    Evaluate compatibility with the plastic molding or coating curing temperature.

  • Exposure Conditions:
    Consider the level of light and weather exposure required for the final application.

  • Formulation System:
    Ensure compatibility with the selected resin or binder system.

  • Regulatory Compliance:
    Review applicable safety and regional regulatory requirements.
