Pigment Red 268 is a high-performance organic red pigment widely used in plastics, coatings, and industrial coloring applications. It provides a bright bluish red shade with strong tinting strength and good overall fastness properties.
As a pigment, Pigment Red 268 remains as fine solid particles dispersed in the application medium rather than dissolving. This makes it suitable for applications requiring opacity, durability, and long-term color stability.
PR268 – DuraPaint®65268 ⬇️TDS
This is a yellowish red shade with semi-opaque properties, primarily used in industrial paints, decorative water- and solvent-based coatings, printing inks, and textile printing pastes, offering balanced color strength and stable processing performance.

Pigment Red 268 is commonly used in:
Polyolefins (PP, PE)
PVC (rigid and flexible)
Engineering plastics
Industrial coatings
Powder coatings
Masterbatch production
It is especially suitable for plastic coloration where a balance of brightness, heat resistance, and cost efficiency is required.
Pigment Red 268 shows reliable thermal stability during common thermoplastic processing, making it suitable for extrusion and injection molding.
Its strong coloring power allows for lower dosage levels while maintaining vivid red shades.
It offers solid indoor durability and moderate outdoor resistance depending on formulation.
With proper processing, Pigment Red 268 can achieve uniform color distribution in masterbatch and plastic systems.
1. Balanced Performance-to-Cost Ratio
Provides strong color strength and durability at competitive cost compared to ultra-high-performance pigment systems.
2. Suitable for Various Plastic Systems
Works well in polyolefins, PVC, and certain engineering plastics.
3. Opaque Coverage
Unlike solvent dyes, it provides hiding power and is suitable for opaque applications.
For extreme outdoor durability, higher-performance pigments may be preferred.
Proper processing is required to achieve optimal color strength and gloss.
Resin type and processing temperature can influence final appearance.
Understanding these factors ensures proper material selection.
When sourcing Pigment Red 268, buyers should confirm:
Target polymer system
Required heat resistance level
Lightfastness requirements
End-use exposure conditions
Regulatory compliance needs
Clear technical communication ensures consistent color performance and stable production.
