Pigment Red 208 (C.I. 12500) is an organic pigment belonging to the benzimidazolone pigment class, which is known for its balanced durability and color stability. It generally produces a yellowish-red to bright red shade and is used in a variety of industrial coloration applications including coatings, plastics, and printing inks.
The pigment is based on benzimidazolone chemistry, forming a stable molecular structure that offers improved resistance properties compared with many conventional azo pigments. Pigment Red 208 is considered a medium- to high-performance organic pigment and is often used in formulations where stable coloration and moderate durability are required.
Due to its balanced performance and color brightness, Pigment Red 208 is widely applied in industrial coating systems and polymer coloration.

Yellowish-red to bright red tone with moderate chroma.
Tinting strength
Moderate to relatively strong tinting strength depending on formulation.
Lightfastness
Generally provides good resistance to light exposure in many indoor and outdoor applications.
Heat resistance
Suitable for polymer processing at moderate to relatively high temperatures.
Solvent resistance
Compatible with many solvents used in coatings and printing ink systems.
Provides a clean yellowish-red hue with high tinting strength, delivering vivid and consistent color performance.
Exhibits reliable resistance to light, heat, and chemicals, ensuring stable and durable coloration in end-use applications.
Widely used in coatings, plastics, and printing inks, offering versatile performance across different systems.
Pigment Red 208 may present certain limitations depending on formulation and application conditions.
Typical limitations include:
Tinting strength may vary depending on dispersion conditions
Color shade may differ slightly depending on formulation and pigment grade
Durability may be lower than some high-performance pigment classes such as DPP or perylene pigments
When selecting Pigment Red 208 for industrial formulations, several technical factors are typically considered:
Processing temperature of plastics or coatings
Required lightfastness and weather resistance
Compatibility with binder or polymer systems
Dispersion characteristics within the formulation
Different commercial grades may provide variations in particle size distribution and surface treatment depending on the intended application.
