Pigment Red 104 (PR104), commonly known as Molybdate Orange or Molybdate Red, is an inorganic pigment based on lead chromate–molybdate chemistry.
It offers a bright orange-red to red shade with excellent opacity, making it highly visible in industrial and safety-related applications.
Molybdate Orange pigments are widely used in industrial coatings, traffic paints, and corrosion-protective systems, where strong hiding power and outdoor durability are required.
As an inorganic pigment, PR104 provides stable performance under light exposure and weathering, although its use is subject to regional regulatory requirements.
PR104 – DuraPaint®6504L ⬇️TDS
It excels in coatings with its high hiding power, vibrant orange-red color, ensuring durable, fade-resistant finishes in architectural and industrial paint applications.
PR104 – DuraPlast®C3504L ⬇️TDS
This grade provides a distinct advantage in plastics by withstanding 210°C, ensuring no color degradation during extrusion or molding while delivering vibrant orange-red hues with high hiding power and chemical resistance for durable plastic products.

Pigment Red 104 has historically been used in several industrial coloration systems.
Typical applications include:
Industrial coatings
Used in industrial paints, machinery coatings, and structural coatings.
Traffic and safety coatings
Applied in road marking paints, safety coatings, and high-visibility industrial applications.
Plastic coloration
Used in certain plastic applications where bright orange-red shades are required.
Marine and protective coatings
Used in heavy-duty coatings requiring high opacity and color visibility.
The properties of Pigment Red 104 are influenced by its inorganic composition and molybdate chromate structure.
Key characteristics include:
Color shade
Bright orange-red to reddish-orange tone.
Opacity
High hiding power compared with many organic pigments.
Heat resistance
Good thermal stability due to inorganic composition.
Weather resistance
Generally provides good outdoor durability in certain coating systems.
Chemical resistance
Resistant to many chemicals and environmental conditions depending on formulation.
Pigment Red 104 offers several characteristics typical of inorganic molybdate pigments:
Bright orange-red coloration
High opacity and hiding power
Good heat resistance
Suitable for industrial coating applications
Stable inorganic pigment structure
Pigment Red 104 may present several limitations depending on regulatory and formulation requirements.
Typical limitations include:
Contains lead compounds, which are regulated in many regions
Use may be restricted in consumer products and certain industrial applications
Environmental and safety regulations may limit its use in some markets
Because of these limitations, some applications may replace Pigment Red 104 with alternative organic pigments.
When selecting Pigment Red 104, several factors are typically considered:
Regulatory compliance requirements in the intended market
Environmental and safety regulations regarding lead-containing pigments
Required opacity and color brightness
Compatibility with coating or polymer systems
In applications where lead pigments are restricted, alternative pigment technologies may be considered.
Pigment Red 104 has historically been produced by inorganic pigment manufacturers worldwide. It is generally supplied as a powder pigment for industrial coatings, plastics, and specialized applications where its use is permitted.
Commercial grades may vary depending on particle size distribution, molybdate content, and formulation characteristics.
