Pigment Red 104 (PR104), commonly known as Molybdate Orange or Molybdate Red, is an inorganic pigment based on lead chromate–molybdate chemistry. It provides a bright orange-red to red shade, combining high opacity with excellent outdoor durability.
Pigment Red 104 has been widely used in industrial coatings, traffic paints, and corrosion-resistant applications where color visibility, weather resistance, and durability are critical performance requirements.
Due to its inorganic structure, PR104 delivers stable color performance under harsh environmental conditions, although regulatory compliance must be carefully considered depending on the target market.
PR104 – DuraPaint®6504L ⬇️TDS
A lead chromate red pigment for decorative and industrial paints, offering solid color strength, good heat resistance (up to ~180 °C), and compatibility with water- and solvent-based coatings.
PR104 – DuraPlast®C3504L ⬇️TDS
A lead chromate red pigment formulated for plastics (PO, PVC, rubber), providing higher heat resistance (~210 °C), excellent tinting retention, and strong resistance to solvents and alkalis.

Pigment Red 104 is mainly used in applications that require high visibility and long-term color stability:
Traffic and road marking paints
Industrial and protective coatings
Anti-corrosion primers
Machinery and equipment coatings
Construction and safety-related coatings
These applications benefit from PR104’s strong opacity, excellent lightfastness, and resistance to outdoor exposure.
Pigment Red 104 provides excellent opacity, making it highly effective in coatings where coverage efficiency and visual impact are required, such as traffic paints and industrial finishes.
The pigment shows outstanding resistance to UV radiation and weathering, supporting long-term outdoor use without significant fading or color shift.
PR104 maintains stable color performance under typical industrial processing and service temperatures, and it demonstrates good resistance to common chemicals and solvents.
The bright orange-red to red hue of Pigment Red 104 makes it suitable for safety, warning, and signaling applications where color recognition is essential.
Despite its performance advantages, Pigment Red 104 has important limitations that must be clearly understood:
Regulatory and Environmental Restrictions
Pigment Red 104 contains lead compounds, which restrict its use in many regions and applications, especially those involving food contact, toys, or consumer products.
Limited Use in Plastics and Consumer Goods
Due to regulatory concerns and processing considerations, PR104 is generally not recommended for most plastic applications or consumer-facing products.
Declining Acceptance in Certain Markets
In some regions, alternative lead-free pigments are increasingly preferred, particularly for architectural coatings and environmentally regulated projects.
These limitations make PR104 primarily suitable for industrial and controlled-use applications rather than general-purpose coloring.
Pigment Red 104 is typically selected when buyers prioritize:
High opacity and strong visual impact
Outdoor durability and weather resistance
Industrial or infrastructure-related applications
Before sourcing PR104, buyers should clearly confirm:
End-use application and exposure conditions
Local regulatory and compliance requirements
Whether lead-containing pigments are permitted in the target market
Shade expectations (orange-red vs. deep red variants)
For projects requiring lead-free solutions, buyers should consider lead-free molybdate alternatives or organic high-performance reds depending on performance needs.

Pigment Red 104 is mainly used in traffic paints, industrial coatings, anti-corrosion primers, and safety-related applications requiring high visibility and outdoor durability.
Yes. PR104 offers excellent lightfastness and weather resistance, making it suitable for long-term outdoor and infrastructure-related uses.
Generally no. Due to regulatory restrictions and material compatibility concerns, PR104 is not recommended for most plastic or consumer product applications.
Pigment Red 104 contains lead compounds, which are restricted or banned in many regions for environmental and health reasons. Buyers must confirm local compliance before use.
Alternatives may include lead-free molybdate pigments, organic high-performance red pigments, or other inorganic reds depending on durability, regulatory, and shade requirements.
