What is Pigment Red 179

Pigment Red 179 (C.I. 71130) is an organic pigment belonging to the perylene pigment class, known for its deep bluish-red shade and strong resistance properties. It typically produces a dark bluish-red to maroon tone and is widely used in coatings, plastics, and other industrial applications requiring durable color performance.

The pigment is based on perylene tetracarboxylic diimide chemistry, forming a highly stable molecular structure. This structure contributes to its resistance to heat, light exposure, and various solvents. Compared with many conventional organic pigments, Pigment Red 179 generally offers improved durability and stability under demanding environmental and processing conditions.

Due to its stable color properties and resistance characteristics, Pigment Red 179 is commonly used in applications where long-term color performance is required.

Pigment Red 179 is a high-value pigment in the perylene red series, presenting a bright and vivid red shade. Primarily recommended for coating applications, it is especially suitable for automobile OEM primers and refinish paints. When blended with other inorganic or organic pigments, the product shows excellent compatibility, effectively extending the color range of quinacridone to the yellowish-red spectrum.

With exceptional performance, Pigment Red 179 delivers superior light fastness and weather fastness, coupled with reliable heat stability (resistant to temperatures ranging from 180℃ to 200℃). Furthermore, it exhibits excellent solvent resistance and clear coat compatibility, rendering it a versatile option for high-performance coating requirements.
