Pigment Red 168 (C.I. 12475) is a synthetic organic monoazo pigment widely used in coatings, plastics, and printing inks. It provides a yellowish to neutral red shade with balanced color strength and moderate fastness properties. Due to its stable azo structure and practical processing characteristics, Pigment Red 168 is commonly selected for general-purpose industrial coloration where consistent red tones are required.

Pigment Red 168 is commonly used in:
Industrial and decorative coatings
Plastic coloration, including polyolefins and PVC
Printing inks (solvent-based and water-based systems)
Rubber products
General-purpose masterbatch production
It is typically applied in indoor or limited outdoor exposure conditions.
Color Shade
Pigment Red 168 offers a yellowish-red to medium red tone, suitable for blending and shade adjustment in red formulations.
Tinting Strength
Provides moderate to good tinting strength, enabling efficient color development in coatings and plastics.
Heat Stability
Suitable for standard plastic processing temperatures; performance should be verified for higher-temperature engineering polymers.
Lightfastness
Exhibits moderate lightfastness, appropriate for indoor and short-term exterior applications.
Dispersibility
Can be dispersed using conventional milling or compounding processes in common resin and binder systems.
Exceptional Lightfastness: Maintains vibrant yellowish red hue under prolonged UV exposure (Rating 6–7, 1/3～1/25 SD), ensuring long-lasting color retention.
Superior Weather Resistance: Delivers stable performance in outdoor and long-term applications, adapting to harsh environmental conditions.
Strong Chemical & Solvent Resistance: Resists acids, alcohols, soaps, hydrocarbons, and most organic solvents; also exhibits excellent migration and sterilization resistance.
Reliable Thermal Stability: Maintains consistent properties at 220℃ for 10 minutes, suitable for high-temperature processing scenarios.
Excellent Dispersion & Moderate Transparency: With a specific surface area of 37 m²/g, it ensures smooth processing in coatings/plastics and is ideal for metallic/effect finishes and color matching.
Versatile Applicability: Widely compatible with high-end coatings (automotive, architectural), plastics, and water/solvent-based inks, meeting diverse high-quality application needs.
When evaluating Pigment Red 168, buyers typically consider:
Required shade tone (yellowish vs. neutral red)
Intended exposure conditions
Processing temperature of the plastic or coating system
Lightfastness requirements
Regulatory and compliance considerations
Application-specific testing is recommended to ensure suitability under actual production conditions.
