Introduction

Pigment Red 48:2 (CAS 7023-61-2) is a copper complex monoazo lake pigment typically involving calcium or barium salts, featuring a bright blue-shifted red hue. It serves as a standard color for gravure printing inks and is suitable for NC-type packaging inks (noting a thickening tendency in water-based inks). For coloring scenarios, it exhibits no bleeding in flexible PVC, endures high temperatures of 230℃ for 5 minutes in HDPE, is widely used in LDPE coloring, and is also applicable for PP dope coloring with excellent lightfastness.

Advantages

Bright Blue-Toned Red Hue with Standard Color Grade: Features a vivid blue-toned red, serving directly as a standard color for gravure printing inks with high color recognition, meeting high-end coloring requirements.
Cost-Effective with High Color Saturation: Offers rich color at a competitive price, balancing color intensity and cost advantages for large-scale production scenarios.
Excellent Solvent Resistance: Withstands organic solvents such as toluene and esters, showing no bleeding or fading after coloring, suitable for solvent-based inks, automotive coatings, and plasticized PVC products.
Good Light and Weather Fastness: Boasts a lightfastness grade of 6–7, maintaining color stability under moderate UV exposure, ideal for outdoor applications like signage, agricultural films, and building materials.
Outstanding Heat Stability: Endures high temperature of 230℃ for 5 minutes in HDPE, and resists thermal degradation at 180–200℃ during the processing of polyolefins (PP, PE), compatible with extrusion, injection molding, and other processes.
Wide Material Compatibility: Suitable for NC-type packaging inks (with slight thickening in water-based inks), flexible PVC, LDPE, HDPE, PP dope, etc. It also works with thermoplastics, solvent/water-based coatings, and flexo/gravure printing inks, reducing manufacturers’ formulation complexity.
Regulatory Compliance & Safety: Meets basic industry standards for non-food contact applications with low heavy metal content, suitable for general-purpose products (food contact use requires compliance with regional regulations).
